1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: The study investigates the impact of effleurage massage using coconut oil on pain in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients undergoing hemodialysis. The research aims to explore the potential therapeutic benefits of this intervention in alleviating pain associated with hemodialysis. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used, with 150 individuals with mild to moderate leg discomfort aged 30-70 chosen. The Wong-Baker pain scale was used for pretest. After a month, a posttest was conducted. Results: Results showed that 70% of the patients had moderate levels of leg pain, while 30% had mild pain. After the intervention, 36% had no pain, 42% had mild pain, and 22% had moderate pain. Conclusion: The study concluded that effleurage massage with coconut oil is effective in reducing leg pain among CRF patients undergoing hemodialysis.
