Effect of vibration on pain during subcutaneous heparin injection: A randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Article in Open medicine (Warsaw, Poland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objectives: The administration of subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) injections frequently causes injection pain, disrupting the comfort of patients. No studies were found evaluating the effect of the application of local vibration in the management of pain relating to subcutaneous LMWH injection. The aim of this study is to examine the effect on injection pain of the local vibration technique applied to the injection site during subcutaneous LMWH injection. Methods: The patients were randomly assigned to an experimental (vibration) group ( Results: The pain score of the participants during the subcutaneous LMWH injection was found to be significantly lower in the vibration group than in the control group ( Conclusion: It was found that the local vibration technique applied to the site of subcutaneous LMWH injection was effective in reducing the pain developing in relation to the injection. Healthcare professionals can use the vibration technique in the management of the pain relating to subcutaneous heparin injection.
