Effects of Music Therapy on Perioperative Anxiety, Depression and Postoperative Satisfaction in Elderly Patients with Distal-Radius Fractures: A Retrospective Clinical Study.
Article in Noise & health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the effects of music therapy on perioperative anxiety, depression and postoperative satisfaction in elderly patients undergoing surgery for distal radius fractures.
methodsA retrospective cohort study of 186 patients (≥65 years) was conducted from January 2022 to December 2024. The participants were divided based on the treatment period: standard care (January 2022-June 2023, n = 92) or music therapy plus standard care (July 2023-December 2024, n = 94). Outcomes measured included anxiety and depression [Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)]; anxiety levels (Visual Analog Scale for Anxiety [VAS-A]); sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQ]); satisfaction; pain; length of hospital stay and functional recovery at preoperative, postoperative 24 hours, discharge and 2-week and 6-week follow-up timepoints.
resultsThe music-therapy group demonstrated progressive improvements across all timepoints. At 6 weeks, the music therapy group maintained superior outcomes compared with standard care: HADS-Anxiety (6.05 ± 1.98 vs. 7.34 ± 2.24, P < 0.001), HADS-Depression (5.86 ± 2.07 vs. 6.69 ± 2.53, P = 0.015), VAS-A (28.83 ± 12.94 vs. 33.47 ± 15.19 mm, P = 0.026) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (6.15 ± 1.94 vs. 7.33 ± 2.18, P < 0.001). Patient satisfaction scores were significantly higher (8.46 ± 0.94 vs. 7.93 ± 1.29, P < 0.001). Hospital stay was reduced (3.21 ± 0.89 vs. 4.12 ± 1.23 days, P < 0.001), opioid consumption decreased (23.59 ± 11.67 vs. 34.56 ± 13.89 oral morphine equivalents, P < 0.001) and functional recovery was superior (disability of the arm, shoulder and hand]: 28.01 ± 11.34 vs. 38.87 ± 13.78, P < 0.001).
conclusionMusic therapy considerably reduces anxiety and depression, enhances sleep quality and satisfaction and facilitates recovery of elderly patients undergoing distal radius fracture surgery.
