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

Virtual reality (VR) stands as an innovative technology transforming our interactions with the digital world. Its integration into health care has proven advantageous for both patients and health care providers across multiple levels and modalities. Given that VR is becoming increasingly accessible and prevalent, health care providers should explore incorporating the technology into their practices, particularly within the pediatric population, which is becoming progressively more accustomed to the technology. This topic synopsis provides a broad discussion of the current literature, exploring current and probable future applications of VR in pediatric patient care, particularly in improving the hospital experience, facilitating education during hospitalizations, providing an alternative to pharmacological therapy for pain management, and enhancing mental health care practices.
