A Pilot Study Testing Intranasal Ketamine for the Treatment of Procedural Anxiety in Children Undergoing Laceration Repair.

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
Identifying non-invasive methods for anxiolysis is becoming increasingly important in the pediatric emergency department (ED). Few studies have examined the use of intranasal (IN) ketamine for procedural anxiolysis. We aim to evaluate if IN ketamine provides satisfactory anxiolysis for patients undergoing laceration repair based on anxiety and sedation scoring. We also evaluated the feasibility of using IN ketamine in future trials based on its tolerability and side-effects. A pilot study evaluating IN ketamine in the treatment of procedural anxiety for patients, 2 years and older, weighing 40 kg or less, presenting to the pediatric ED with lacerations. The need for anxiolysis was defined by an elevated modified-Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale-Short Form (mYPAS-SF) score. Patients received 5 mg/kg of IN ketamine in addition to topical anesthesia, mYPAS-SF scoring before and during the procedure, sedation scoring, adverse events, vital signs, age, weight, laceration size and location, and satisfaction surveys were recorded. Twenty-five patients were enrolled, with mean age of 61 ± 29.2 months and mean weight of 21 ± 6.4 kg. Lacerations were located on the face, extremities, and groin with mean size of 2.1 cm. A decrease in anxiety levels was observed, from median m-YPAS-SF score of 66.7 (62.50-80.2) to 33.3 (27.09-52.00),
