Individual and Contextual Variables as Predictors of MRI-Related Perceived Anxiety.
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) generates patient anxiety (PA) and, therefore, it is important to understand individual and contextual variables that may cause it. In study one, we explored those anxiety predictors. In study two, we examined the effect of the experience of MRI on PA comparing anxiety pre- to post-MRI.
methodsPA was measured with an anxiety and stress scale in an interview format. Data collection occurred at a public hospital with MRI outpatients aged 18 or older. In study one (
resultsBeing female, having a higher education level (EL), and not receiving information about the examination predicts higher PA after MRI. Patients with prior information have a decrease in PA from pre- to post-MRI. Those who do not have no change in PA. In low-educated patients, PA also decreases and no changes occur in highly educated patients.
conclusionThis study provides health professionals with valuable indicators about patients who are more likely to perceive and express anxiety during MRI.
