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
backgroundPain is one of the most common complaints among children in emergency medical services (EMSs). Unfortunately, it is often inadequately and poorly managed, resulting in unnecessary pain and suffering in pediatric populations. Given the barriers to pharmacological pain management for children in prehospital emergency settings, emergency medical technicians can effectively utilize nonpharmacological approaches to pain management without fear or concern. Practice guidelines are one of the effective factors in optimizing pain management for children in the prehospital setting. This study aimed to design and localize a clinical guideline for nonpharmacological pain management in injured children in EMSs. MATERIALS AND
methodsThrough a multistage evolutionary study conducted from April 2020 to February 2022, practice guidelines relevant to the research topic were extracted from databases and evaluated and critiqued using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) tool for guideline quality. The two selected practice guidelines with the highest scores were used to extract clinical recommendations, which were then synthesized into a localized clinical guideline after consensus in two Delphi rounds and a panel of experts.
resultsThe recommendations were categorized into three sections: general recommendations (9 recommendations), pain assessment and measurement (10 recommendations), and nonpharmacological management (15 recommendations). These recommendations were extracted from two selected clinical guidelines, which were filtered from six guidelines after AGREE evaluation. After consensus among experts in two Delphi rounds, the recommendations were compiled into a localized clinical guideline.
conclusionThe clinical guideline for prehospital pain management in injured children can improve the quality-of-care programs, address existing barriers to pain management in children, and increase patient satisfaction. The developed guidelines are also used in the evaluation of emergency services' performance in pain management and the accreditation of prehospital care. Future research should investigate the prevalence and management of pediatric pain in prehospital settings, outcome measures, barriers, and facilitating factors in this area.
