Effect of Auditory and Tactile Stimulation on the Level of Consciousness and Physiological Parameters in ICU Patients With Altered Consciousness.

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
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of multisensory stimulation in enhancing consciousness levels and physiological parameters among critically ill patients in the ICU. Methods: A quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group pretest-post-test design was employed. Seventy-one patients with Glasgow Coma scale (GCS) scores below 13 were recruited through convenience sampling. Participants were divided into an experimental group ( Result: Experimental and comparison groups showed significant differences in consciousness from day 4 to 7 with higher GCS scores in the experimental group. Repeated measures ANOVA demonstrated improvement in GCS scores from the evening of day 2 till day 7 ( Conclusion: Multisensory stimulation is a safe and effective method to enhance consciousness in critically ill patients without inducing adverse physiological effects. Early integration of MSS into ICU protocols is recommended. Further research is needed to explore MSS's efficacy across diverse medical conditions.
