1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

backgroundPatients with advanced heart failure commonly experience acute and/or chronic moderate to severe pain related to disease, treatment, or both. While pain management strategies typically focus on drug therapies, non-pharmacological interventions may prove beneficial without risk of significant clinical side effects or contraindications. One novel strategy, virtual reality, has been shown to improve pain control in addition to usual pharmacological interventions.

methodsThis is a prospective, two-armed, single center randomized controlled pilot study of a virtual reality intervention in 128 hospitalized subjects with ACC/AHA stage C or stage D heart failure who self-report pain rated 4/10 or greater compared to an active control, two-dimensional guided imagery. The primary outcome is change in self-reported pain score measured by the Brief Pain Inventory (Short Form). Secondary end points include changes in self-reported distress, quality of life, and satisfaction with pain management.

conclusionThis randomized controlled study aims to provide empiric data to support application and expansion of novel technologies such as virtual reality to augment usual pharmacological pain management strategies in hospitalized patients with heart failure.
