1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: The article aims to assess impact of music therapy on anxiety in patients undergoing cardiac procedures. Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central were searched to identify relevant cohorts and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We evaluated anxiety, heart rate (HR), systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP), respiratory rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and mean oxygen saturation (SaO Results: In total, 1706 patients from 18 RCTs and one cohort study were analyzed. Music therapy recipients showed significantly lower anxiety measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (MD: -4.75; Conclusion: Music therapy significantly reduces anxiety and enhances post-procedural HR, SBP, and respiratory rates in cardiac procedure patients.
