The effect of an information video on preoperative anxiety level before percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedure: A prospective, randomized trial.
Article in Canadian Urological Association journal = Journal de l'Association des urologues du Canada, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
introductionWe aimed to show the effect of patient information videos on preoperative anxiety before performing the percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL ) for kidney stones.
methodsThis study was designed as a randomized, controlled trial with patients scheduled for PCNL operation for kidney stones. Demographic information, such as age, gender, and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, were collected. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (ST AI) was used to measure anxiety levels. Before informing the patients, anxiety levels were evaluated using the ST AI-state (pre-information ST AI-S) and ST AI-trait (ST AI-T). Patients were randomly divided into two groups: both groups received written and verbal information, while the "video" group was also shown a video of a PCNL procedure. The post-information anxiety levels of both groups were evaluated using ST AI-S (post-information).
resultsA total of 109 patients were included in the study and 50 patients were included in each group after nine patients were excluded. The participants in the two groups were similar in terms of gender distribution, mean age, and pre-information ST AI-S scores. Post-information ST AI-S scores were statistically significantly lower in the video group (p=0.02). There was no significant difference between post-information and pre-information ST AI-S scores in the no-video group (p=0.86), whereas a significant decrease was found in post-information ST AI-S scores in the video group (p<0.01).
conclusionsIn addition to written and verbal information before PCNL operations, informative videos are an inexpensive, effective method to reduce preoperative anxiety levels. Video-based briefing may be routinely used in addition to preoperative verbal and written information.
