Effect of Supplementary Video Information on Patient Anxiety Before Urodynamic Testing: A Randomized Controlled Study.
Article in International neurourology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeUrodynamic testing, a minimally invasive procedure commonly performed in urology, often induces preprocedure anxiety due to its invasive nature and insufficient preparatory information. This study investigated whether supplementing traditional verbal and written explanations with video-animated information could help reduce anxiety in patients undergoing urodynamic testing.
methodsIn this randomized, controlled, prospective study, patients were divided into 2 groups: a nonvideo group (n=100), which received only verbal and written explanations, and a video group (n=100), which additionally viewed an animated informational video. Anxiety was assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory: the trait version (STAI-T) for general anxiety and the state version (STAI-S), administered both before and after information delivery, for situational anxiety.
resultsMedian STAI-T scores did not differ significantly between groups (P=0.067). While preinformation STAI-S scores were comparable (P=0.702), postinformation STAI-S scores were significantly higher in the nonvideo group (group 2) compared to the video group (P<0.001). In the video group (group 1), the median STAI-S score decreased from 34 (range, 20-62) preinformation to 26 (range, 20-39) postinformation (P<0.001). In group 2, the median STAI-S score decreased from 35 (range, 20-63) to 28 (range, 22-48) (P<0.001). Patients who received video-animated information exhibited a significantly larger reduction in STAI-S score (median change, 6.5 vs. 5.0; P=0.034), suggesting greater anxiety relief with video supplementation.
conclusionAdding video-animated information to conventional verbal and written explanations significantly increases anxiety reduction before urodynamic testing, potentially improving patient comfort and understanding of the procedure.
