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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveDental patients often experience the fear of pain induced by injectable anesthesia. This study aimed to investigate the impact of hypnosis on relieving the pain of injected dental infiltration anesthesia. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis single-blind clinical trial was conducted on 32 healthy volunteers to assess the pain perception in mucosal injection. The visual analog scale was applied for the measurement of one-sided pain intensity in the maxilla without hypnosis. When hypnosis was implemented, the same procedure was performed on the other side of the maxilla reversely within one session.

resultsHypnosis implementation significantly decreased the intensity of the perceived pain before anesthesia injection (p = 0.05).

conclusionHypnosis before the injection of dental infiltration anesthesia could decrease the pain intensity caused by the injection. Therefore, hypnosis therapy is recommended as an effective approach to pain control for anesthesia injection.
