"Keeping pace according to the child" during procedures in the paediatric intensive care unit: A grounded theory study.
Article in Intensive & critical care nursing, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe goal was to explore how nurses interact with children in the paediatric intensive care unit during potentially painful procedures. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY/
designThis was a qualitative research study that used grounded theory approach. Data were collected through participant observation and interviews. Nurse-child interactions were observed and recorded during potentially painful procedures performed by nurses. Following observation of a procedure, nurses were interviewed about their intentions, feelings and emotions during the procedure.
settingThe study took place in a seven-bed paediatric intensive care unit in an academic teaching hospital in Japan.
findingsChildren's acceptance of a procedure was induced by nurses' pacing, particularly in a pattern of "keeping pace according to the child." Such pacing involved soothing the child, explaining what was being done to the child at each step and acknowledging the child's emotions. All of these child-centred procedures provoked cooperation from the children even during painful procedures.
conclusionsOur study suggests that a collaborative practice approach, in which nurses use a series of calming tactics, might improve children's perceptions of painful procedures.
