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.

2 · The registry

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

The use of virtual reality to educate preoperative patients has a positive impact on nurses as well as patients undergoing treatment. It can help improve patient satisfaction and improve favorable outcomes by reducing patient anxiety and proving adequate knowledge about the procedure and possible outcomes to the patient. It also reduces burden on nursing staff and counsellors. Larger and more diverse cohort studies will help us understand the wider application of this tool on the patient population. It may be difficult to apply this tool on elderly patients with failing eyesight, multiple physical comorbidities. Also, there may be reduced acceptance of this modality by older nursing staff and practitioners who may prefer the traditional verbal version for counselling. We will benefit from a combined approach of using virtual reality apps with tradition one-on-one counselling to help alleviate patient concerns and improve patient and healthcare professional satisfaction.
