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: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Comfort Theory-guided nursing care in reducing perioperative anxiety and improving recovery outcomes among children undergoing strabismus surgery. The hypothesis was that a structured comfort-based nursing approach addressing physical, psychospiritual, sociocultural, and environmental needs would yield superior emotional and functional outcomes compared with conventional care. Methods: A prospective study was conducted involving 184 pediatric patients scheduled for elective strabismus correction. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either routine nursing ( Results: Compared with routine care, the Comfort Theory group showed markedly lower anxiety both before induction (44.1 ± 8.9 Conclusion: Comfort Theory-guided nursing care may help alleviate perioperative anxiety, stabilize physiological stress responses, reduce postoperative pain, and support behavioral and functional recovery in pediatric strabismus surgery. As a holistic nursing approach, it may offer a practical framework for improving perioperative care; however, the findings should be interpreted in light of the single-center design, lack of full blinding, and multimodal nature of the intervention.
