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

Background: Pediatric patients often experience significant distress and discomfort during intravenous (IV) cannulation. The noninvasive vibratory buzzy device, which utilizes vibration technology, has emerged as a potential solution for mitigating procedural pain in children. However, its application and effectiveness have not been investigated in the United Arab Emirates. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted among children (aged between two and six years) on admission. The children were selected consecutively and assigned to either the intervention group (IVG) or control group (CG). The IVG ( Results: Results showed that 31 (62%) of children in the IV group were between four and six years old. The pre-intervention FLACC scores in the IVG indicated moderate pain in 21 (41%), mild pain in 20 (39%), and severe pain in 9 (18%). During the intervention, the IVG experienced mild-to-no pain, whereas the CG reported mild-to-moderate pain. A significant negative correlation between pain score and age was observed in the CG ( Conclusions: Vibratory stimulation using a noninvasive buzzy device effectively reduced procedural pain during cannulation.
