Effects of Noise Reduction on the Physical and Mental State of Patients with Lumbar Disc Herniation in an Orthopedic Outpatient Clinic.

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
Objective This study aimed to explore the effects of noise reduction on the physical and mental state of patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) in an orthopedic clinic.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 120 patients with LDH who received conservative treatment in the orthopedic outpatient clinic of Tsinghua University Hospital from February 2022 to February 2023. The orthopedics department underwent noise reduction renovations in August 2022 and has implemented noise control management since then. Sixty patients admitted before the renovations were assigned to the conventional group, and 60 patients admitted after the renovations were assigned to the noise reduction group. The two groups were compared in terms of noise levels during treatment, subjective negative perceptions of noise, pain level (visual analog scale [VAS] scores), negative emotions (self-rating anxiety scale [SAS] and self-rating depression scale [SDS]], sleep quality (Pittsburgh sleep quality index [PSQI]) and quality of life (36-item short-form health survey [SF-36]) before and after a 2-week treatment.
resultsNoise level and negative perception of noise in the noise reduction group were significantly lower than those in the conventional group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the noise reduction group had lower VAS, SAS, SDS, and PSQI scores (P < 0.05) but higher a SF-36 score than the conventional group (P < 0.05).
conclusionNoise reduction in an orthopedic clinic can reduce pain levels and negative emotions and improve the sleep quality and quality of life of patients with LDH.
