Preoperative anxiety after face-to-face patient assessment versus preanaesthesia telemedicine (PANTEM) in adults: a randomised clinical trial.
Trial report in Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Preanaesthesia consultation is performed to assess and optimise patient-specific risk factors before surgery, to inform patients about anaesthesia techniques and to obtain consent. Aside from face-to-face visits, telephone consultation is increasingly being used clinically. Concentration on the content and avoidance of confounding factors could lead to improved patient preparation. We hypothesised that patients receiving a telemedical intervention have less anxiety. Patients scheduled for elective surgery were randomised into two groups according to the consultation performed face-to-face (FTF) or via telephone (TEL). Before consultation (< 48 h) and 1-2 h prior to surgery, both groups had to fill in the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). A total of 271 patients were randomised and 130 were analysed. There were no significant intergroup differences in mean state anxiety (STAI-S) before and after the intervention. Patients' positive feedback on telemedical consultation urges future studies on its effect on satisfaction and quality of life.
