What a claim record is How to read this page

One statement, bounded on purpose

The headline is a single claim that a named source supports. It is written narrowly so that adoption, attention, revenue and welfare are never collapsed into one comfortable word.

The three sections below the fold

What this does not establish is the boundary of the evidence. Counterevidence & uncertainty is what argues the other way. What would change the reading is the observation that would move it. A record missing any of the three is incomplete, not merely brief.

Primary routes are checkable

Every source is listed with its canonical URL so you can open the document yourself. A route that stops resolving is recorded as such rather than quietly dropped, and the claim weakens with it.

MWITA-NCO-2026-005 · Evidence A · P1

VR goggles offered no pain benefit over the same cartoon on a conventional screen; secondary pointwise adjusted heart-rate estimates favored the screen, while the omnibus longitudinal group interaction and raw change comparisons were null.

What this does not establish

This compares two audiovisual distractions during one injection, not VR versus no distraction or full dental care. It does not establish long-term anxiety, appointment retention, clinical throughput, cost or patient lifetime value; assessors and clinicians were unblinded/different.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

The hypothesized analgesic advantage was null, while the physiological anxiety proxy moved adversely after adjustment; novelty or blocked vision may have raised arousal.

What would change the reading

Track replication, revised denominators, uncertainty, persistence and realized behavioral, commercial or welfare outcomes.
