Adjunctive hypnotic communication for analgosedation in subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation. A prospective single center pilot study.
Article in International journal of cardiology. Heart & vasculature, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07424209 (The Effectiveness of Hypnotic Communication in Reducing Emotional Distress and Improving Patient Experience During Elective Coronary Angiography), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundSubcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) is a well-established therapy for sudden death prevention. Considering the painful nature of the procedure anaesthesia may be required for analgo-sedation. Hypnosis is emerging as a promising therapeutic strategy for pain control. Few data are available regarding the use of hypnosis as adjunctive technique for pain control during S-ICD implantation.
methodsThirty consecutive patients referred to our centre for S-ICD implantation were prospectively and alternatively allocated with 1:1 ratio in two groups: A) Standard analgo-sedation approach (Hypnosis non responder patients) B) Standard analgo-sedation approach with the addition of hypnotic communication (Hypnosis responder patients). Peri-procedural pain perception and anxiety, perceived procedural length, type and dosage of administered analgesic drugs have been measured using validate scores and compared.
resultsHypnotic communication was offered to 15 patients of which was successful in 11 patients (73%). There were no statistical differences between the two study groups according to baseline characteristics. Hypnosis communication resulted in significant pain perception reduction (Group A 6,9 ± 1,6 Vs Group B 1,1 ± 0,9, p value < 0,01),
conclusionsOur results demonstrated a significant reduction of perceived pain, anxiety, procedural time and use of analgesic drugs in hypnosis responder patients. These results reinforce the beneficial effects of the hypnotic technique in patients undergoing S-ICD implantation.
