The effect of video-based multimedia information before amniocentesis on pain, anxiety, and pregnancy outcomes.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Amniocentesis is the most commonly used invasive prenatal diagnostic test. This study aimed to investigate the effect of video-based multimedia information (MMI) on the anxiety and pain levels of patients undergoing amniocentesis. This randomized controlled study included all consecutive women aged 18-45 years scheduled for amniocentesis. Subjects were assigned to receive video-based MMI or standard written information. Anxiety levels were assessed pre-procedure and post-procedure using the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S). All patients underwent standard amniocentesis by the same perinatologists. After amniocentesis, Likert scale was used to evaluate the ease of the procedure and patient satisfaction, and a visual analog scale was used to evaluate pain. Pregnancy results and amniocentesis results were noted. Eighty-four patients were randomized to receive video-based MMI, and 76 were randomized to receive written information. The post-procedure STAI-S score was significantly lower in both the video group and the control group compared to the pre-procedure STAI-S score (47.8 ± 5.23 vs. 45.86 ± 5.02, 95% CI: [2.38-1.52], p < 0.001, and 46.75 ± 7.35 vs. 44.82 ± 6.85, 95% CI: [2.33-1.51], p < 0.001). The satisfaction rate of the video group was significantly higher than controls (69.05% vs. 48.68%, p = 0.01). Procedure pain, ease of procedure, and pregnancy outcomes were similar for both groups (p > 0.05). Performing video-based MMI before the amniocentesis procedure is associated with higher patient satisfaction than standard written information. Video-based MMI was not associated with reductions in pain and anxiety in patients undergoing amniocentesis.
