Randomized Multicenter Trial of Acupressure in Patients Undergoing Moderately to Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy.
Trial report in Clinical journal of oncology nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundChemotherapy can contribute to chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). The use of acupressure is a nonpharmacologic method to counteract general nausea and vomiting.
objectivesThe primary end point was to determine whether there were any differences in CINV episodes between patients receiving acupressure at two different acupressure points.
methodsPatients (N = 509) were randomized between acupressure at the Pericardium 6 point and the Triple Warmer 5 point. Patients reported data in a structured diary for 10 days and health-related quality of life using a questionnaire on days 1 and 10.
findingsRegardless of group, 70 patients reported having decreased global health status after the first chemotherapy treatment. There was no difference in the occurrence or intensity of CINV between acupressure applied at the two different points. Antiemetic prophylaxis remains the most important method of counteracting CINV.
