Preoperative nursing visit reduces preoperative anxiety and postoperative complications in patients with laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A randomized clinical trial protocol.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It carries an expression of concern. Cited by 13 papers.
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
backgroundAnxiety is a kind of emotional disorder caused by acute conditions or trigger. It is manifested in the components of the autonomic nervous system, for instance, stress, anxiety, nervosity, and discomfort. Most patients with anxiety are more active, nervous, and alert to various stimuli. Inappropriate management of early postoperative anxiety will not only prolong recovery but also increase the risk of other complications. We conduct a randomized clinical trial to investigate the influences of nursing visits against the preoperative anxiety and postoperative complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
methodsThis is a single center, placebo-controlled randomized trial, which will be performed from August 2020 to December 2020. The trial is performed in accordance with the SPIRIT Checklist for randomized studies. It is authorized by the Ethics Committee of Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province (D20211-34). Two hundred patients undergoing LC will be included in this study. Patients are randomly divided into 2 groups: experiential group (n = 100) or control group (n = 100). The experimental group is given preoperative nursing visit to each patient 1 day before the operation, whereas the control group did not receive the preoperative nursing intervention. The patients in experience group also received education on the surgery team and the environment of operating room, the process of anesthesia, advantages of laparoscopic surgery, and the postoperative care from recovery room to discharge. The primary outcomes include State-Trait anxiety level and postoperative visual analogue scale. Secondary outcomes include total consumption of analgesics and postoperative complications.
resultsFigure (a) will show the comparison of outcomes between 2 groups.
conclusionThe preoperative nursing visit may decrease the anxiety and the complications after operation in patients receiving LC.
trial registrationThis study protocol is registered in Research Registry (researchregistry5924).
