Does music from noise-canceling headphones have a beneficial effect on men undergoing transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy?
Article in Prostate international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of music with noise-canceling headphones on men undergoing transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUSPB) in a prospective randomized study.
methodsFrom January to February 2020, 94 men underwent TRUSPB at our institution. They were divided into two groups and wore noise-cancelling headphones-group 1 (n = 47) did not listen to music and group 2 (n = 47) listened to music. We examined the patients' clinical characteristics and compared the objective and subjective measurements before and after the procedures. Primary outcomes included vital signs, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI, 20-80) scale; and the visual analog scale (VAS, 0-10) for the assessments of pain, satisfaction, and willingness to repeat the procedure.
resultsThere were no significant differences in patients' characteristics or the prebiopsy status between the groups. Postbiopsy vital signs for objective parameters were statistically similar between the groups; however, the subjective parameters were not. Postbiopsy STAI-state and VAS scores were significantly lower and VAS scores for the patients' satisfaction and willingness to repeat the procedure were significantly higher in Group 2 than in Group 1 (
conclusionsMusic from noise-canceling headphones may have beneficial effects on anxiety, pain, satisfaction, and willingness to repeat the procedure in men undergoing TRUSPB.
