Preoperative Needs-Based Education to Reduce Anxiety, Increase Satisfaction, and Decrease Time Spent in Day Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in World journal of surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 32 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundToo much or too little information during patient education can increase patient anxiety. Needs-based patient education helps to determine the appropriate amount of information required to provide education based on patient needs. This study aimed to compare needs-based patient education with traditional patient education in reducing preoperative anxiety.
methodsThis was a prospective, multicenter, single-blind, randomized controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Patients undergoing day surgery were randomized into a study group (needs-based education) or a control group (traditional education). The primary outcome was patient anxiety. Secondary outcomes were patient satisfaction and time spent in patient education. Patients completed questionnaires to evaluate their anxiety and satisfaction before patient education, after patient education, and after surgery.
resultsIn total, 450 patients were randomized and analyzed (study group n = 225, control group n = 225). Comparisons before education, after education, and after surgery showed that there was a significant decrease in patient anxiety and an increase in satisfaction in both groups (p < 0.001). The comparison between needs-based education and traditional education showed a greater decrease in anxiety (7.09 ± 7.02 vs. 5.33 ± 7.70, p = 0.001) and greater increase in satisfaction (21.1 ± 16.0 vs. 16.0 ± 21.6, p < 0.001) in the needs-based group. The needs-based group also had significantly less education time than the traditional group (171.8 ± 87.59 vs. 236.32 ± 101.27 s, p < 0.001).
conclusionNeeds-based patient education is more effective in decreasing anxiety, increasing patient satisfaction, and reducing time spent in education compared with traditional patient education.
