Prevalence of preoperative anxiety in patients posted for surgical procedures and its relation to the doses of anesthetic drugs: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Industrial psychiatry journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: In patients undergoing surgical procedures, preoperative period is one of the most worrying periods. There are only few studies which revealed that increased preoperative anxiety is associated with increased requirements of doses of anesthetic agents. Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of preoperative anxiety in patients posted for surgical procedures and its relation to the doses of anesthetic drugs. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional, analytical study done between January 2021 and April 2021. A total of 100 patients undergoing surgery have given consent to participate in the study by filling self-designed questionnaire, Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS). Data analysis was done by SPSS version 24 using appropriate statistical tests. Results: Preoperative anxiety was noted in 21% of the patients who were undergoing surgery. The association between preoperative anxiety and need for increase in the doses of anesthetic agents during intraoperative period was found to be statistically significant ( Conclusion: A significant number of patients required increased amounts of anesthetic drugs to reduce anxiety during intraoperative period. Therefore, appropriate methods have to be introduced to address the concerns of patients undergoing surgery and thereby reducing anxiety.
