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

objectivesTo evaluate the efficacy of pain management of 1 ml of 24% sucrose given orally compared to routine care given one minute before vaccination for reduction of pain.

methodsThis double-blind randomized controlled trial included term neonates visiting Pediatric OPD for immunization. Neonates were randomly assigned into two groups (Group A- Sucrose, Group B- Swaddling). Commercially available sucrose solution (StayHappi solution 24%) was given in a dose of 1 ml to the neonates. Video recording of the neonate's facial expression was done during the procedure. Duration of cry, latency of onset of cry as well Modified Neonatal Facial Coding Score (MFCS) were the outcome variables.

resultsThe mean (SD) of birth weight and gestational age was 2729 (321.6) g and 38.24 (0.84) d, respectively. Analysis showed significant difference in total MFCS across the groups (P <0.001). Total MFCS was significantly lower in sucrose group [4.88 (1.07) vs. 7.17 (0.95)]. The duration of cry (in seconds) was also found to be significantly lower in sucrose group.

conclusionsAdministration of 1 ml 24% sucrose one minute prior to immunization is efficacious in pain management during injectable immunization.
