Comparison of the Effect of Pressure Massage of Hegu Point with Kunlun-Taixi Points on Pain of Intramuscular Injection in Premature Newborns: A Randomized 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
Background: Performing painful procedures in premature newborns are prevalent. This study compared the effect of the pressure massage of Hegu point with Kunlun-Taixi points on the pain of intramuscular injection in premature newborns. Materials and Methods: This triple-blind, parallel, clinical trial was conducted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Shahid Rahimi Hospital, Khorramabad, Iran. Participants included 100 premature newborns randomly assigned to four groups ( Results: The mean (Standard Deviation) of pain scores during injection in the Hegu massage, Kunlun-Taixi massage, control, and placebo groups were 5.92 (1.99), 5.94 (1.75), 6.66 (1.45), and 6.56 (1.61), respectively. Despite the lower pain scores of the intervention groups compared to the control and placebo groups, their difference was not statistically significant ( Conclusions: Using pressure massage before intramuscular injection of vitamin K has no significant effect on intramuscular injection pain in premature newborns. It is suggested that future studies of massage be performed for a more extended period, along with other pain relief methods for premature newborns.
