Effect of Two Different Catheter Dressings on Pain, Comfort, and Satisfaction in Chemotherapy Patients: A Randomized Controlled Study.
Article in Florence Nightingale journal of nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The incidence of cancer is increasing on a daily basis. Chemotherapy is one of the methods used in cancer treatment. Chemotherapy is administrated through a peripheral venous catheter. During intravenous chemotherapy, the patient may experience pain and his comfort may deteriorate. This study aimed to determine the effect of two different catheter dressings on the patient's comfort, satisfaction, pain level, and nurse satisfaction. A randomized controlled study was designed. Data of the study It was collected between March and June 2022. Participants were patients who were continuing chemotherapy treatment at a university hospital. The sample consisted of 70 (35 + 35) cancer patients. Sociodemographic information form and visual analog scale were used to collect data. There is no difference in the pain level of the masking tape and standard plaster groups. The patient's comfort, satisfaction, and the nurse's use satisfaction were higher in the group where masking tape was used. There is a very strong positive correlation between patient comfort and patient satisfaction in the masking tape group. The effect size of the applied intervention is very weak. (p > .05). Masking tape can be applied safely as a peripheral venous catheter dressing. (p < .05).
