The effect of slow deep breathing relaxation exercise on pain levels during and post chest tube removal after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Article in International journal of nursing sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of slow deep breathing relaxation exercise (SDBRE) in reducing patients' pain levels during chest tube removal (CTR) post coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Methods: In 2019, fifty post-CABG patients were conveniently selected from a cardiac intensive care unit in Jordan's major referral heart institute. The patients were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. A total of 25 patients were assigned into the experimental group who received slow deep breathing relaxation Exercise (SDBRE) alongside the conventional care before CTR. The remaining 25 patients constituted the control group (50%) that had CTR following conventional care. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to measure the participants' pain levels during three phases: before CTR (Time 1), 5-min post CTR (Time 2), and 15-min post CTR (Time 2) to compare the intervention effect between the two groups. Results: The data analysis findings for the control and intervention group of patients showed that there was a statistically significant decline in their pain level across time for both groups ( Conclusions: Using SDBRE during CTR is an effective technique for reducing pain which can minimize the need for analgesics and their associated adverse effects.
