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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo map, from the perspective of Kolcaba's Comfort Theory, scientific evidence of interventions for pain management in people with complex wounds.

methodsScoping review conducted across seven databases and grey literature. The application Rayyan was used for material selection. Data processing was performed using the IRaMuTeQ software, employing Descending Hierarchical Classification, based on the topic sample results.

resultsThe sample, consisting of 27 publications, comprised the text corpus. Interventions for pain management in people with complex wounds encompassed physical and psycho-spiritual dimensions of Comfort Theory, with a prevalence of ibuprofen-impregnated dressings, technologies such as virtual reality, eye tracking, and diode laser, as well as pharmacotherapies and complementary approaches, such as relaxation techniques, music therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

conclusionThis review mapped interventions in pain management for complex wounds, highlighting benefits such as immediate relief, improved quality of life, and promotion of healing, in line with Kolcaba's Comfort Theory.
