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
objectiveTo describe the restraint practices used by Brazilian nursing professionals when performing healthcare procedures on hospitalized children.
methodA cross-sectional study was conducted with 897 professionals working in the care of hospitalized children in the country. Data were collected between May 2024 and January 2025, using a questionnaire with sociodemographic information and another about restraint practices, which underwent content validation and pre-testing. The bank was analyzed in software R.
resultsRestraint was characterized as a common method; however, professionals reported that they did not receive training during their education and/or professional practice to perform it. The most commonly used techniques were physical, with support, and psychological, in procedures such as venipuncture, medication administration, and catheterization. The decision to use it was related to the child's behavior, ensuring their safety, and their refusal to cooperate.
conclusionThe restraint practices used by Brazilian nursing staff for pediatric care were described based on techniques, reasons, consent, family participation, control of potential harm, and documentation in medical records.
