Sensory Saturation (3T) for Pain Management During ROP Screening in Preterm Infants Born Between 32 to 36 Weeks of Gestational Age.

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 assess the effectiveness of the 3T sensory saturation method-taste, auditory, and tactile stimulation-in reducing pain and enhancing comfort in preterm infants undergoing retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening, compared with conventional pacifier use. Methods: A total of 100 preterm infants (gestational age 32-36 weeks) were prospectively enrolled and randomly assigned using computer-generated random numbers into a 3T group ( Results: Infants in the 3T group showed significantly higher oxygen saturation and lower pain scores during screening compared with controls ( Conclusion: The 3T sensory saturation method is an effective, safe, and practical nonpharmacological intervention for reducing pain and improving comfort during ROP screening in preterm infants born between 32 and 36 weeks of gestational age. These findings may not be directly generalizable to extremely preterm infants (< 32 weeks), who represent a distinct and more vulnerable population commonly included in ROP screening programs in many countries. Its adoption in clinical practice could enhance procedural tolerance and overall care for this vulnerable population.
