Managing pain in newborns: A multidimensional approach.
Review in Paediatrics & child health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 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
Preventing and managing an infant's pain effectively is an essential component of newborn care. Experiencing untreated pain in early life has been associated with immediate negative effects and long-term adverse outcomes affecting physiological stability, pain processing and neurodevelopment. Inadequate pain management during medical procedures is consistently reported by parents as one of the most stressful aspects of having a baby. Despite known ways to effectively manage infant pain, these interventions remain underutilized in clinical practice. To ensure optimal outcomes, health care facilities should establish organization-wide pain management frameworks, with dedicated resources that include: comprehensive training for care providers, implementing pain prevention and control strategies, and quality improvement measures to minimize the number of painful procedures, assess and reassess pain appropriately, reduce procedural and surgery-related pain, and actively engage parents in shared decision-making and pain care.
