The impact of two methods on pain and anxiety during short peripheral cannula placement: A randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in The journal of vascular access, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
AIM AND
objectivesThis study aimed to determine the impact of virtual reality glasses and ball squeezing methods on reducing pain and anxiety in adult patients undergoing short peripheral cannula placement.
methodsThe pretest-posttest parallel group randomized controlled experimental study was conducted in a university hospital with 111 patients. Patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups: the VR group (
resultsThere was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of sociodemographic characteristics (
conclusionsThe study found that virtual reality glasses and ball squeezing were effective distraction methods to reduce pain and anxiety in patients undergoing short peripheral cannula placement.
