Perioperative Music Implementation in Bariatric Patient Care: An Interventional Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
methodsThis prospective study compared the preimplementation (control) and postimplementation (intervention) groups between March and October 2023. The control group did not receive music, while the intervention group received patient-selected music using headphones and a tablet. Music was provided as standard during anesthesia. Only patients undergoing elective BMS (primary ring augmented Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) were included. The primary outcome was postoperative pain on a 10-point scale (numeric rating scale, NRS) on the first postoperative day. The secondary outcomes included postoperative nausea, patient satisfaction, and opioid and antiemetic requirements. Results
conclusionImplementing perioperative music in BMS did not significantly reduce postoperative pain or postoperative medication use. As the bariatric perioperative tract is already well-received without music, it poses a challenge for detecting notable improvements. However, the strong patient preference for music during future surgeries emphasizes the positive perception of music in perioperative care.
