The effect of music on pain and anxiety during hysterosalpingography: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHysterosalpingography (HSG) is a diagnostic radiological procedure used widely to investigate infertility as an invasive, uncomfortable, and painful procedure. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of music played to women during HSG on pain and anxiety.
methodsThis randomized controlled experimental study was conducted at the Gynecology Polyclinic of Atatürk University Health Study and Application Center between 27.01. 2022 and 04.12.2023. The study population consisted of women admitted to the relevant institution for HSG. The study sample consisted of 80 women, 40 in the experimental group and 40 in the control group, who met the study criteria from the specified population. In the study, the women in the experimental group listened to Acemaşiran Maqam as music during HSG. No intervention was applied to the control group except routine practice. "Personal Information Form," "Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)," and "State Anxiety Inventory" were used to collect the data. Frequency, percentage, mean scores, standard deviation, t-test for dependent groups, and t-test for independent groups were used in the statistical analyses. The statistical significance of the data was evaluated at the p < 0.05 level.
resultsThe mean post-test score of the State Anxiety Inventory was 38.88 ± 5.12 for the women in the experimental group and 45.83 ± 4.33 for the women in the control group. The difference between the mean scores was statistically significant. For this reason, it was determined that the women in the experimental group who listened to music during HSG had a decrease in anxiety levels after HSG (p < 0.001). The mean VAS post-test score of the women was 6.05 ± 2.11 in the experimental group and 7.15 ± 2.32 in the control group, and the difference between the mean scores was significant according to the results; it was determined that the post-HSG pain level of women in the experimental group, who listened to music during HSG, was lower than the control group (p < 0.05).
conclusionIt was found that the music played during HSG reduced the pain and anxiety levels of women. For this reason, the use of music during HSG is recommended.
