Comparison of the Efficacy of Virtual Reality Glasses versus Mint Gum for Pain and Anxiety Relief During Episiotomy Repair: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. 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
Background: Pain and discomfort associated with episiotomy, especially during its repair, are significant sources of fear among women and may contribute to increased rates of cesarean section. This study aimed to compare the effects of virtual reality (VR) glasses and mint gum on pain intensity and anxiety during episiotomy repair among primiparous women. Materials and Methods: In this single-blind randomized clinical trial, 108 eligible primiparous women were randomly assigned to three groups using block randomization: VR glasses ( Results: No significant differences in pain or anxiety were observed between the groups before the intervention ( Conclusions: Both VR glasses and mint gum were effective in reducing pain and anxiety during episiotomy repair. As low-cost, nonpharmacological interventions, they can be recommended for routine use in maternity care.
