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 determine the effect of elevated supine position with back support on back pain, anxiety and comfort in patients undergoing coronary angiography.

methodsThis randomized-controlled, experimental study was conducted in the Coronary Intensive Care Unit between September 2021 and January 2022, with an intervention group of 51 patients and a control group of 53 patients. Data were collected using a patient information form, a visual analog scale, the anxiety state inventory and the immobilization comfort questionnaire. Following angiography, the intervention group received pillow support to the back and the bedhead was elevated to 30 degrees. Routine nursing care was applied to the control group. In both groups, the severity of back pain was measured at 0, 2, and 4 hours, and anxiety and comfort at 0 and 4 hours.

resultsThe pain severity at 2 and 4 hours after the procedure was determined to be significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (

conclusionThe elevated supine position with back support was seen to reduce back pain, increase comfort, and did not change anxiety levels.
