Synthesis in Canadian journal of anaesthesia = Journal canadien d'anesthesie, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06612398 (Effect of a Preoperative Preparation Video on Preoperative Anxiety Among Children Undergoing Dental Treatment Under General Anesthesia), which is not on this map. Cited by 28 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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

purposeThe purpose of this systematic review was to examine the effect of technology-based preoperative preparation interventions on children's and parents' anxiety. SOURCES: PsycINFO, Cochrane, Science Direct, Taylor and Francis, and Pubmed MEDLINE databases were searched. Studies were restricted to those reporting on technology-based preoperative preparation interventions for pediatric patients (0-18 yr old) receiving elective surgery under general anesthesia. PRINCIPAL

findingsThirty-eight studies that provided level II or level III evidence were included (33 randomized-controlled trials and five non-randomized-controlled studies). Of the 38 studies, preoperative anxiety (measured by various indices of anxiety) was significantly reduced in children and parents in 25 and 11 studies, respectively. For children, tablet and handheld devices with interactive components were the most encouraging strategies. Video preparation alone may provide sufficient information to manage preoperative anxiety in parents.

conclusionThe available literature is extremely heterogeneous and limits the ability to make definitive conclusions about the efficacy of technology-based preoperative preparation interventions. The available literature suggests that, for children, tablet and handheld devices with interactive capacity may represent a viable option to address preoperative anxiety. The findings are more mixed for parents, with video preparation a possible option. Execution of well-designed, methodologically sound studies is required to facilitate a better understanding of the efficacy of technology-based preoperative preparation.
