The impact of classical music on anxiety and pain perception during a thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy.
Trial report in Hormones (Athens, Greece), 2023. 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
aimTo determine the impact of classical music on the anxiety and pain perception of patients who underwent thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy (TFNAB) for the first time.
methodsIn a prospective randomized controlled design, TFNAB patients were randomized into the intervention and control groups. The State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) before and after the procedure and the visual analog scale (VAS) after procedure were used for measuring anxiety and pain.
resultsA total of 82 patients were included. There was no significant difference between the music intervention group (n = 41) and control group (n = 41) in terms of age, gender, work status, highest education level, SAI score before TFNAB, and duration of the procedure (p > 0.05). It was observed that the anxiety level before TFNAB was higher in women in all patient groups (p = 0.009). While the SAI score decreased significantly in the music intervention group (Z = - 3.62, p < 0.001), there was no significant difference in the control group (Z = - 1.41, p = 0.157) after TFNAB. However, no significant difference was found in terms of VAS between two groups (p = 0.075). The duration of the TFNAB procedure was correlated with the change in the SAI score (r = 0.382, p < 0.001).
conclusionThis is the first study to examine the impact of music on patients' anxiety and pain perception during the TFNAB procedure. Despite the fact that classical music intervention did not decrease pain perception, it significantly reduced patient anxiety. Music is an easy-to-implement intervention that can be considered as an effective method for reducing patient anxiety during TFNAB.
