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

backgroundConsidering that more than half of the patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) experience pain, for this reason, diagnosis, management, and relief of pain are very important in this department. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this intervention study, nurses working in the ICU were included and the study educational intervention was held in the field of Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) tool. Then, the score of the BPS tool was compared before and after the intervention. Educational interventions included the explanation and training of the BPS tool. The explanations given included teaching the dimensions of the BPS tool, how to complete the tool and score it, the difference between the BPS tool and other conventional methods of pain assessment in the ICU department, how to interpret the results of the BPS tool, and perform palliative interventions in the field of pain control. The instruments used included the Glasgow Coma Scale, DSM-IV Scale, and BPS. Data analysis was done using SPSS16 software,

resultsThe results showed that the implementation of the training program had improved the scores obtained by nurses in all three dimensions of the BPS questionnaire. In all aspects of the questionnaire, the overall pain score of the patients after the implementation of the training was higher than the score before the implementation of the training (

conclusionConsidering the effect of the educational intervention on improving the pain identification score and providing palliative care in patients hospitalized in the ICU, it is suggested that a suitable educational program be included in the nursing bachelor's curriculum.
