Invasive procedures and atraumatic care in pediatric nursing practice: nurses' perceptions.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Introduction: Invasive procedures in pediatric nursing practice require a child-centered approach to minimize pain levels associated with manifestations of stress, anxiety, and long-term traumatic reactions. Method: This cross-sectional study aimed at identifying nurses' perception of stress, anxiety, and pain levels in children and adolescents (0-18 years) undergoing invasive procedures, and strategies used to minimize the associated distress. Based on a literature review, an online questionnaire was developed that evaluates the distress associated with frequent invasive procedures and strategies used to reduce discomfort. Results: Participants were 157 nurses who provided nursing care to children in all types of healthcare settings, such as hospitals and community health centers. Nurses evaluated lumbar puncture and catheter insertion as the procedures that caused more stress, anxiety, and pain in all age groups. ANOVA and Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of specialized training and knowledge concerning strategies to reduce distress in pediatric invasive procedures, suggesting the need for more significant investment in education and support for nursing professionals to improve patient experience.
