Article in Revista latino-americana de enfermagem, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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 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 understand the experiences undergone by children and adolescents with congenital cardiopathies in relation to using vibration along with cryotherapy (Buzzy ® ) during venipunctures.
methoda qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study conducted with children and adolescents hospitalized due to congenital cardiopathies. The data were collected by means of audio-recorded semi-structured interviews, after using Buzzy ® during venipunctures. The data were analyzed via inductive content analysis, as proposed by Elo and Kyngas.
resultsthe participants were 15 children and adolescents with a mean age of 11.1±3.6 years old. Four categories were created, which evidenced the experiences undergone by children and adolescents with cardiopathies when using Buzzy ® , namely: Perceiving pain reduction or not; Experiencing physical sensations of relaxation and anesthesia; Getting distracted with Buzzy ® ; and Reducing anxiety. It was identified that the participants experienced pain and anxiety reductions, anesthesia, relaxation and distraction when using the device, as only two perceived no difference.
conclusionBuzzy ® can be an effective non-pharmacology strategy to manage pain and anxiety during venipunctures in pediatric patients, as it showed benefits in the physical and emotional aspects, with the possibility of being using both in the clinical practice and in future research studies.
