Prediction of correlation between preoperative parents' anxiety and their child's anxiety before elective surgery under anaesthesia: An observational study.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2024. 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 and Aims: Preoperative parental anxiety can have a profound impact on their children undergoing surgery. The present study was done to analyse the correlation between preoperative parental anxiety and their child's anxiety in paediatric patients undergoing elective surgery. Methods: Paediatric patients aged 2-12 years, scheduled for elective surgeries under general anaesthesia, were included in the study. The child's behaviour and anxiety were assessed in the preoperative area using the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS). The parent filled out the demographic questionnaire and the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) form in the preoperative area on the day of surgery. Statistical analysis was conducted using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) statistics software version 23.0 (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY, USA). Results: A total of 150 children undergoing elective surgery were analysed. Our results showed a strong positive correlation between a child's m-YPAS and his/her parents' anxiety on the day of the surgery (STAI-state) ( Conclusion: Parental anxiety has a significant impact on the child's anxiety during the preoperative period.
