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: Most patients receiving nitroglycerin infusion experience some degree of headache. This study aimed to determine the effect of aromatherapy with lavender and valerian essential oil on the severity of headaches caused by nitroglycerin infusion, vital signs, and narcotic use in patients with coronary artery disease admitted to CCU wards. Materials and Methods: This three-blind clinical trial was performed with the participation of 90 patients with consent. Patients were randomly divided into three groups (lavender, valerian, and control). Samples of lavender and valerian groups were inhaled cotton soaked in 3 drops of fragrance for 30 minutes. In the control group, no intervention was performed and only the usual methods of pain control were performed for these patients. The severity of patients' headaches in four time periods (before the intervention and 15, 30, and 60 minutes after the intervention) was measured using the visual scale of pain and vital signs before and after the intervention. Results: The results showed that in all three groups, there was a statistically significant difference between the different stages of pain measurements and the headache score had reduced (df: 4, Conclusions: Aromatherapy with lavender and valerian essential oils is effective in reducing headaches in patients receiving nitroglycerin infusion and reducing their use of painkillers and narcotics.
