A Randomized Controlled Trial of Aromatherapy to Reduce Symptom Burden in Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.
Trial report in Oncology nursing forum, 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
objectivesTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of aromatherapy on symptom burden and associated outcomes. SAMPLE &
setting92 inpatients who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on hematology-oncology units in an academic hospital. METHODS & VARIABLES: Participants in this pilot randomized controlled trial received essential oil-infused or blank aromatherapy patches and completed a symptom journal. Mixed-model analysis of variance was used to analyze chemotherapy-induced nausea, vomiting, and retching (CINVR) and anxiety symptoms. A t test was used to analyze medications administered for CINVR. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze additional study aims.
resultsThere was no significant difference in mean symptom scores or medications administered between the intervention and control groups. On a 1-10 rating scale (10 = extremely satisfied/extremely likely), aromatherapy was rated 8 or higher for satisfaction (n = 50) and likeliness to use again (n = 53). IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Aromatherapy can be used for holistic symptom management to improve the patient experience.
