A Scoping Review of Audiovisual Distraction Techniques Among Children in Reducing Invasive Procedure Pain.
Article in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Invasive procedures in children can lead to painful and uncooperative procedures. It is essential to determine the appropriate method to create a comfortable environment for children during invasive procedures. However, audiovisuals are one of the distraction techniques used in pain management. Purpose: This study aims to identify and categorize related audiovisual distraction techniques in reducing pain due to invasive procedures among children. Methods: This study uses a systematic scoping review. A literature review was conducted using PubMed, EBSCO, Science Direct, Scopus and grey literature through Google Scholar. The study was eligible for inclusion if it included articles published from 2012 to 2022, full-text and open accessed articles, and in Indonesian and English language. Studies were excluded if they were review studies and the adult population. The keywords in English were Results: We found 15 articles showing audiovisual distraction techniques in managing pain among children undergoing invasive procedures. Three types of audiovisual interventions were used, including virtual reality (VR), video music, and animated cartoons. In addition, types of invasive procedures that benefited from the analyzed interventions were infusion, surgery, injection, blood draw, dressing change, circumcision, endoscopy, and phlebotomy. Conclusion: Our findings highlight that virtual reality, video music, and animated cartoons have clinical implications in helping to distract from pain in children undergoing invasive procedures. Our study indicates that the potential of audiovisual intervention can be used as an intervention strategy in the pediatric nursing area.
