Effectiveness of a preoperative explanatory video system on patient acceptance and anesthesiologists' workload: a questionnaire survey.
Article in JA clinical reports, 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
backgroundHigh-quality preoperative patient education is crucial for enhancing comprehension and reducing anxiety. However, anesthesiologists often face time constraints that limit the depth of preoperative consultations. To address this challenge, we implemented a tablet-based preanesthetic explanatory video preview system, allowing patients to view tailored video clips prior to their consultation. This study aimed to evaluate the system's impact on patient acceptance and the workload of anesthesiologists.
methodsA questionnaire-based survey was conducted at our outpatient clinic between October 27 and November 20, 2023. A total of 121 patients and 20 anesthesiologists participated. Patients completed a three-point scale questionnaire assessing the video's clarity, relevance, and overall satisfaction. Anesthesiologists provided feedback on the efficiency of consultations and workload.
resultsNinety-five percent of patients found the video "easy to understand," and 96% expressed overall satisfaction. Thirteen out of 14 anesthesiologists reported that the video improved patient understanding and reduced consultation time, with an average time savings of 3.9 ± 3.2 min per patient. None reported an increase in workload.
conclusionsThe preanesthetic video preview system improved patient comprehension and satisfaction while enhancing consultation efficiency. Standardizing preoperative education through video may optimize clinical workflow and reduce the burden on anesthesiologists. Further research is warranted to assess its applicability across diverse patient populations and surgical settings.
