Adverse effects of dorsogluteal intramuscular injection versus ventrogluteal intramuscular injection: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Nursing open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06834113 (Impact of Two Types of Interventions), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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.
Impact of Two Types of Interventions (Ventrogluteal Versus Dorsogluteal Injection Site; Virtual Reality Headset: Presence or Absence) on Pain After Injections of Vocabria® (Cabotegravir) and Rekambys® (Rilpivirine) in Patients Infected With Human Immunodeficiency Virus -1

Abstract
aimsTo determine adverse effects of ventrogluteal intramuscular injections versus dorsogluteal intramuscular injections.
designA systematic review and meta-analysis.
methodsMEDLINE, EMBASE, CINHAL, CENTRAL, LILACS(BVS), BDENF (BVS), WoS, IRCTP(WHO), ClinicalsTrials.gov and PROSPERO databases were searched with no restriction on year or language. Preferred Reporting items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed.
resultsA total of 1429 participants from 17 studies were included. The meta-analysis found that ventrogluteal injection site had significant relation to lower pain in 9 studies (SMD = -0.63, 95% CI = -0.87, -0.39), bleeding in 4 studies (SMD = -3.46, 95% CI = -6.07, -0.86) and hematoma in 2 studies; after 48 h (SMD = -0.25, 95% CI = -0.39, -0.11), and after 72 h (SMD = -0.16, 95% CI = -0.26, -0.06), if it was compared with dorsogluteal site injection. No differences were found when comparing the possibility of intramuscular injections given into de subcutaneous tissue. In three studies, ventrogluteal site did not significantly reduce the risk of subcutaneous injection (OR 0,62, 95% CI = 0.16, 2.41).
