Effect of music on anxiety during intrauterine insemination: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in F&S reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05492331 (A Randomized Controlled Trial to Assess the Effect of Music Therapy on the Anxiety of Patients Undergoing Intrauterine Insemination), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Objective: To study the effect of music therapy on patient-reported anxiety and pain during intrauterine insemination (IUI) procedures. Design: Randomized, controlled trial (NCT05492331). Subjects: Patients aged 18 to 45 years undergoing IUI. Intervention: Participants were randomly assigned 1:1 to either the music intervention group or nonmusic group. Those randomized to the music therapy group selected their music preference. Main Outcome Measures: Differences in mean anxiety and pain between music and nonmusic groups before, during, and after IUI procedure, as assessed by visual analogue scale and Wong Baker pain scale, respectively. Results: 100 patients met inclusion criteria and were randomly assigned to listen to music (n = 50) or no music (n = 50) during their IUI. Baseline factors were similar between groups. There was no difference in patient-reported anxiety or pain scores before or during the IUI procedure. Participants in the music intervention group reported lower post-procedure anxiety scores (12.0, 95% confidence interval [8.3, 15.8] vs. 18.6, 95% confidence interval [13.6, 23.5]) compared with controls and expressed a high degree of satisfaction (92%) with this intervention. Participants in both groups expressed a desire for music therapy in future IUI procedures (88% vs. 68% in the music therapy vs no music groups, respectively). Conclusion: Patients who listened to music during IUI reported lower anxiety scores at the conclusion of the procedure and had high satisfaction rates. Trial registration: NCT05492331 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05492331).
