The effect of the liquid motion bubbler timer soothing sensory toy on children's fear and anxiety levels during blood sampling: a randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in BMC psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06476418 (The Effect of Distraction During Blood Collection on the Fear and Anxiety Levels of Children Aged Four to Six Years), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 data were collected by face-to-face interviews using the "Questionnaire Form", "Children's Fear Scale", and "Children's State Anxiety". Children in the intervention group were made to play "Liquid Motion Bubbler Timer Soothing Sensory Toy" before and during the blood sampling procedure. The Dependent Groups T-Test, the Wilcoxon Test, the Independent Groups T-Test, and the Mann-Whitney U-Test were used in the analysis of the data.
resultsThe Liquid Motion Bubbler Timer Soothing Sensory Toy group had significantly lower fear and anxiety scores compared to the control group (p<0.05). The Liquid Motion Bubble Timer Soothing Sensory Toy has a significant effect on children's fear and anxiety.
