Nationwide Cross-Sectional Online Survey of Australian Clinicians' Pain Management Practices for Newborns During Heel Lance Procedures.
Article in Paediatric & neonatal pain, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The analgesic effects of breastfeeding (BF), skin-to-skin care (SSC), and oral sucrose/glucose for neonates during painful procedures are well-established. Although parents report wanting to comfort their babies during painful procedures, use of these strategies is inconsistent. This study investigated clinicians' support/use of BF, SSC and sucrose during newborn heel lance in Australia and perceptions of a clinician-targeted video demonstrating how to perform heel lance while newborns were BF/SSC. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted. Snowball sampling and distribution via partner organizations were used. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were used for quantitative and qualitative data, respectively. Respondents included 729 nurses, midwives, and phlebotomists, caring for healthy newborns (39%,
