Technology-Based Interventions for Pain in Children Undergoing Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
aimThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of technology-based interventions on the pain of paediatric surgery patients.
backgroundRecently, the number of technology-based interventions involving multimodal nonpharmacological methods tailored to pain management in paediatric surgery patients has increased. It is crucial to determine the effectiveness of these interventions.
designA systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials following Cochrane methods was conducted. REVIEW
methodsWe performed a literature search in the Web of Science, PubMed, CINAHL, Science Direct, MEDLINE, ProQuest and Cochrane Library databases. Two independent researchers screened the literature using specific keywords and selected randomized controlled trials based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Each researcher extracted data and assessed the risk of bias in the randomized controlled trials using the Cochrane bias risk assessment tool.
resultWe conducted a meta-analysis on 14 randomized controlled trials included in the study. The results showed that technology-based interventions reduced pain scores in paediatric surgery patients. Cochran's Q test results pointed to a high level of heterogeneity among the randomized controlled trials.
conclusionA meta-analysis result of 14 randomized controlled trials showed that technology-based interventions are effective methods for reducing pain in paediatric surgery patients. REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42021226666.
