Less stress, better success: a scoping review on the effects of anxiety on anesthetic and analgesic consumption.
Article in Journal of anesthesia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05476198 (A Randomized, Controlled Trial Comparing Preoperative Anxiety Effects of Brachial Plexus Block and General Anesthesia for Orthopedic Upper Extremity Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 22 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.

Abstract
Preoperative anxiety has an incidence of 11-80% in patients undergoing surgical or interventional procedures. Understanding the role of preoperative anxiety on intraoperative anesthetic requirements and postoperative analgesic consumption would allow personalized anesthesia care. Over- or under-anesthetizing patients can lead to complications such as postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients, or procedural discomfort, respectively. Our scoping review focuses on the current evidence regarding the association between preoperative anxiety and intraoperative anesthetic and/or postoperative analgesic consumption in patients undergoing elective surgical or interventional procedures. Based on 44 studies that met the inclusion criteria, we found that preoperative anxiety has a significant positive correlation effect on intraoperative propofol and postoperative opioid consumption. The analysis of the literature is limited by the heterogeneity of preoperative anxiety tools used, study designs, data analyses, and outcomes. The use of shorter, validated preoperative anxiety assessment tools may help optimize the intraoperative anesthetic and postoperative analgesic regimen. Further research to determine the most feasible and clinically relevant preoperative anxiety tool and subsequent implementation has the potential to optimize perioperative care and improve patient outcomes.
