Trial report in Clinical oral investigations, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06349200 (Comparing Binaural Beats and 432Hz Music for Reduction of Preoperative Anxiety in Root Canal Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from it

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.

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

objectiveThe aim of this randomized controlled study was to investigate the effect of music therapy during restorative dental treatments on patients with moderate dental anxiety. MATERIALS AND

methodsSeventy patients were determined to have moderate dental anxiety by the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) and were divided randomly into two groups (n = 35). The first group did not listen to music during their restorative treatment (control group), and the second group listened to music of their choice (experimental group). Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature were measured three times for each patient: once before the treatment, once after their dental caries were removed, and once at the end of the treatment. Salivary cortisol samples were taken from each patient before and after the treatment. The MDAS was re-administered to the patients at the end of the treatment, and the data were analyzed statistically.

resultsOnly the diastolic blood pressure (P = 0.042) and the MDAS scores of the experimental group (P = 0.001) were significantly lower than the control group at the end of the treatment.

conclusionWhile music listening did not have an effect on the physiologic parameters of the patients during restorative treatment, it decreased the MDAS scores of the patients. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Although music therapy did not affect the physiological parameters during the restorative dental treatment, it may help to reduce patients' self reported anxiety level.
