Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06170957 (The Effect of Modified Teat on Pain, Physiological Variables, and Stress Level During Heel Blood Collection in Mechanically Ventilated Term Newborns), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

backgroundOne of the key elements of patient care is the relief and prevention of pain sensations. The importance of pain prevention and treatment has been emphasized by many international organizations. Despite the recommendations and guidelines based on evidence, contemporary research shows that the problem of pain among patients in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in various centers is still an important and neglected problem.

aimThe aim of this study was to assess the level of knowledge of the medical personnel and their perception of the issue of pain in neonatal patients.

methodsA quantitative descriptive study carried out in 2019. The study used a nurses' perceptions of neonatal pain questionnaire.

resultsA total of 43 Polish hospitals and 558 respondents participated in the project. 60.9% (

conclusionOur analyses indicate that despite the availability of pain assessment tools for neonatal patients, only a few centers use standardized tools. The introduction of strategies to promote and extend the personnel's awareness of neonatal pain monitoring scales is necessary.
