The effect of video-animated information on the anxiety of male patients before flexible cystoscopy performed under local anesthesia.

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
introductionWe aimed to investigate the effect of video-animated information given before flexible cystoscopy under local anesthesia on the anxiety of male patients.
methodsBefore cystoscopy, patients were divided into two groups with 1:1 standard randomization. While one group was given written and verbal information, the other group was additionally given video-animated information. The patients' anxiety levels before the procedure and their hemodynamic parameters during the procedure were compared between the groups. In addition, pain, satisfaction, and willingness to repeat the procedure were compared between the groups.
resultsState-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Sate (STAI-S) levels were found to be statistically significantly lower in the group given video animation information before cystoscopy (p<0.01). It was observed that video information had a positive effect on systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate, and the values were lower than in the comparator group (p<0.01). While there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores (p=0.24), VAS satisfaction and VAS willingness to repeat the procedure scores were found to be statistically significantly different (p<0.01). It was observed that video-animated information made a positive contribution to satisfaction and willingness to repeat the procedure.
conclusionsVideo-animated information given before a flexible cystoscopy procedure performed on male patients under local anesthesia has positive effects on the patients' anxiety. In addition, it contributes positively to the patient's satisfaction and desire to repeat the procedure. Video-animated information may be routinely used, in addition to verbal and written information, before csytoscopy.
