The effects of music listening intervention on postoperative care in unilateral vs. bilateral endometriotic cysts.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition that can result in pelvic pain and infertility, thereby significantly impacting women's reproductive health. Psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression are common in women with endometriosis and can have a detrimental effect on their quality of life. Conventional postoperative care primarily focuses on medical and surgical aspects; however, there is a growing need to address the psychological wellbeing of patients as part of comprehensive postoperative care. Music listening interventions have emerged as a promising adjunctive approach due to their non-invasive and non-pharmacological nature, which can potentially enhance the postoperative experience by targeting both physical and psychological aspects. Methods: This study is a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial with 141 young nulliparous participants who underwent laparoscopic endometriosis cyst resection at Sun Yat-sen University's Third Affiliated Hospital from September 2023 to August 2024. Participants were divided into a music listening group ( Results: 141 patients were categorized into two groups: the unilateral cyst group (93 patients) and the bilateral cyst group (48 patients). In both unilateral and bilateral cyst cohorts, the intervention failed to demonstrate efficacy in reducing postoperative nausea/vomiting or pain intensity (all Conclusion: This secondary analysis indicates that a 7-day music listening intervention (30 min/day) doesn't confer significant benefits for postoperative pain, nausea/vomiting, anxiety, depression, or fatigue in young nulliparous patients undergoing laparoscopic endometriotic cystectomy, irrespective of unilateral or bilateral cyst involvement. Future studies should investigate optimized protocols (e.g., therapist-guided sessions, longer duration) and mechanistic biomarkers to identify potential responders.
