Perioperative Anxiety: Current Status and Future Perspectives.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Perioperative anxiety is a multifaceted phenomenon that significantly impacts patients undergoing surgical procedures. Despite advancements in surgical techniques and anesthetic management, the psychological burden associated with anesthesia and surgery remains a significant challenge for healthcare providers. Up to 30% of patients suffer from anesthesia-related preoperative anxiety, irrespective of whether the procedure is elective or emergent. Notably, anxiety can adversely affect patient outcomes, including pain management, patient safety, overall quality of care, and patient satisfaction. Addressing perioperative anxiety requires a comprehensive understanding of its causes, assessment tools, and management strategies to ensure optimal perioperative care. This review examines the historical context, incidence, causes, pathophysiology, assessment tools, and current evidence regarding management strategies for anesthesia-related anxiety, and provides an outlook on future directions for research and everyday practice.
