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.

Abstract

objectiveTo investigate the effect of vascular imaging using near-infrared (NIR) light and transilluminator devices on pain, fear of pain, and patient satisfaction during peripheral intravenous cannulation (PIVC) insertion.

methodsNIR light visualization (n = 50) and transilluminator (n = 50) techniques were used in the intervention, while the standard method was used in the control group (n = 52). The primary outcome was the success rate of first-attempt PIVC insertion, pain, and fear of pain with the PIVC procedure. Secondary outcomes included patient satisfaction and duration of cannulation.

resultsThe rate of successful first-attempt cannulation was 90% in the NIR light group, 70% in the transilluminator group, and 96.2% in the control group. No statistically significant difference was observed between the intensities of PIVC pain and fear of PIVC insertion pain between the groups. NIR light and control group participants' satisfaction and overall experience of PIVC insertion scores were higher than transilluminator participants. The PIVC procedure length of time for the transilluminator group (43.88 ± 10.5 s) participants was higher than that of the NIR light (29.06 ± 11.52 s) and control group (27.19 ± 14.83 s) participants (p < 0.05).

conclusionsThe difference obtained in the study did not reveal a significant enough difference to determine the best method to reduce pain and fear of pain. Additionally, regarding patient satisfaction, participants in the NIR light and control groups reported higher satisfaction levels than the transilluminator group. The transilluminator group had the longest PIVC procedure. Vein visibility scores differed significantly among the groups, with higher visibility observed in the NIR light and control groups than in the transilluminator group.

trial registrationThe trial was prospectively registered at the ClinicalTrials.gov Protocol Registration and Results System (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05892978) on June 6, 2023, and received approval from the Non-Interventional Clinical Research Ethics Committee of Bursa Uludag University Faculty of Medicine (Approval no: 2023-11/42 date: May 16, 2023).
