Effectiveness of auriculotherapy and laser acupuncture in hyperemesis gravidarum: a randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in Revista latino-americana de enfermagem, 2026. 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
to evaluate the effectiveness of auriculotherapy and laser auriculotherapy on nausea, vomiting, and quality of life in pregnant women. a randomized, parallel, factorial, double-blind study was conducted with 100 pregnant women, allocated into four groups (25 in each): intervention (G1- auriculotherapy and G2- laser auriculotherapy), control (G3), and placebo with cotton (G4), all followed for seven days for outcome analysis. The Pregnancy Unique Quantification of Emesis Score and the Degree of Auricular Palpation were used to analyze nausea and vomiting, and the Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire for Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy was used to assess quality of life. compared to the placebo group, participants in G1 and G2 reduced (p<0.050) their Pregnancy Unique Quantification of Emesis scores by -1.14 (95% CI: -2.11; -0.17) and -1.3 (95% CI: -2.24; -0.41) and the Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire for Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy by -34.81 (95% CI: -62.98; -0.95) and -31.97 (95% CI: -62.98; -0.95), respectively. The use of antiemetics was higher in the control and placebo groups. both types of intervention demonstrated a significant reduction in nausea/vomiting and the use of allopathic medications, an improvement in quality of life, and potential acceptance of laser auriculotherapy by pregnant women.
