Addressing Pain With Inpatient Integrative Medicine at a Large Children's Hospital.
Article in Clinical pediatrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundPediatric integrative medicine (IM) includes the use of therapies not considered mainstream to help alleviate symptoms such as pain and anxiety. These therapies can be provided in the inpatient setting.
methodsThis 10-week study involved the integration of acupuncture, biofeedback, clinical hypnotherapy, guided imagery, meditation, and music therapy to address pain in children admitted to a large US children's hospital.
resultsOf 51 patients enrolled, 60% of the patients, 66% of their mothers, and 56% of their fathers used CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) in the preceding 1 year. Although 51 families requested integrative therapies, only 18 patients received them because of inadequate provider availability. All recorded pain scores improved with integrative therapies. One parent reported a possible side effect of irritability in the child after clinical hypnotherapy while 5 children reported opiate side effects. All participating families interviewed responded that IM services helped their child's pain and helped their child's mood, and that our hospital should have a permanent IM consult service.
conclusionIntegrative therapies can be helpful to address pain without significant side effects. Further studies are needed to investigate the integration, cost, and cost-effectiveness of integrative therapies in pediatric hospitals.
