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.

Abstract

Background: Pain plays a significant role in emergency department (ED) visits, however safe and effective nonpharmacologic options are needed. Prior studies of acupuncture in the ED reported pain reduction with minimal side effects, but most were small and single site. Methods: We conducted ACUITY, a prospectively designed multi-center feasibility RCT. Our goal was to recruit 165 adults with acute non-emergent pain ≥4 on a 0-10-point scale at three EDs affiliated with BraveNet Practice Based Research Network. At baseline and 45-60 min later (post), participants self-assessed their pain and anxiety using a 0-10 rating scale. The primary feasibility outcome was recruitment of participants, whereas secondary outcomes were retention, and participant/provider acceptability. Results: From May 3, 2021, to September 24, 2022, 632 eligible individuals were approached and 165 enrolled (165/632: 26.1 %), meeting our recruitment goal. Notably, 42.4 % of enrollees were Black/African American, 42.4 % were White/Caucasian, and 13.9 % were Hispanic/Latino. Participants were randomized to Acupuncture ( Conclusion: Successful completion of ACUITY indicates we have the expertise and preliminary data to conduct a future definitive, multi-center RCT. Trial registration Clinical trialsgov: NCT04880733.
