Comparison of the effect of guided visualization technique and cryotherapy on pain intensity during needle insertion into arterial-venous vessels of hemodialysis undergoing patients: A cross-over clinical trial.

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
backgroundEnd-stage renal disease patients experience pain during needle insertion each time they undergo vascular access. This pain is the most severe aspect of hemodialysis-related stress. Based on this, this study was conducted with the aim of the effect of guided visualization technique and cryotherapy on the intensity of pain when the needle enters the arterialvenous vessels in patients undergoing hemodialysis. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-over clinical trial was conducted on 60 patients undergoing hemodialysis from September to December 2023. Patients were randomly assigned to three independent groups (
resultsThe results showed that guided visualization significantly outperformed cryotherapy across all three groups and stages. Additionally, both guided visualization and cryotherapy significantly outperformed the control group in reducing pain following needle insertion in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
conclusionGuided visualization can be used as a safe and secure method to reduce pain when the needle enters the arteriovenous fistula in patients undergoing hemodialysis. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: IRCT202308080590. (21/08/2023).
