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
Background and Aims: Acute leukemia is considered the most common form of cancer in children. Different painful diagnostic approaches may be applied to diagnose acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children suspected of having the disease, such as blood tests and bone marrow aspiration (BMA). Several studies reported that distraction strategies could alleviate pain severity in children. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of distraction in pain management in children aged 5-12 years old with acute leukemia undergoing BMA. Methods: In a quasi-experimental study involving 60 participants, using convenience sampling, they were assigned to control ( Results: The mean pain severity score immediately before the intervention between the intervention and control groups was markedly different (2.33 ± 1.21 vs. 3.60 ± 1.56, Conclusion: The design and implementation of well-developed pain management regularly involving sustained and organized distraction can effectively manage the severity of pain in acute leukemia children undergoing BMA.
