Culturally Sensitive Treatment of Caregiver Anxiety With Virtual Reality: A Prospective, Pragmatic, Randomized Study.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Pediatric inpatient caregivers often experience significant anxiety. Although improving caregiver anxiety is critical for improving patient outcomes, inpatient interventions targeting patients' families are rarely implemented. This study assessed the effectiveness of a language-concordant, virtual reality (VR)-guided meditation on inpatient caregiver anxiety. Using a prospective, pragmatic, randomized study, the primary aim assessed caregiver anxiety using the Visual Analog Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A). Secondary aims explored state and trait anxiety using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), differences in anxiety reduction between English- and Spanish-speaking participants, and satisfaction. With 200 participants included in the final analysis, VAS-A scores in the VR group were lower compared to the standard of care (SOC) group (
