1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe increasing use of virtual reality (VR) has extended into medical applications, including pain management through immersive mechanisms. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the

methodsA randomized crossover trial compared three conditions during a cold pressor test in 25 healthy volunteers over 35 years: playing

resultsTwenty-five participants completed the study. Overall satisfaction was high, with 92% reporting a positive experience. The

conclusionsInteractive pain management interventions demonstrated high levels of acceptability and user satisfaction, and may enhance pain modulation more effectively than passive or control.
