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
objectiveThis study aimed to explore the effect of a noise reduction strategy in inpatient wards on the postoperative recovery of elderly patients who underwent gastrointestinal tumor surgery.
methodsThe clinical data of 243 elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumors who underwent surgery in Ganzhou People's Hospital from March 2020 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients admitted from March 2020 to September 2021 were categorized as the regular group (receiving conventional perioperative management), and those admitted from October 2021 to March 2023 were categorized as the noise reduction group (receiving conventional perioperative management in combination with the ward noise reduction strategy). Ward noise levels at different times were recorded. The Chinese version of Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire was used to evaluate patients' sleep status before and after sleep management. The numerical rating scale (NRS) was employed to evaluate pain severity at different times. The Chinese version of the M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI-C) was applied to evaluate patients' quality of life before and after treatment.
resultsThe average daytime noise, nighttime noise, and 24-hour average noise levels over a 7-day period were significantly lower in the noise reduction group than in the regular group (P < 0.05). The noise reduction group also showed significantly lower NRS and MDASI-C scores (P < 0.05). By contrast, measures of sleep, such as perceived sleep depth, sleep latency, wake-up times, sleep efficiency, and sleep quality scores, were significantly higher in the noise reduction group than in the regular group (P < 0.05).
conclusionThe ward noise reduction strategy improved sleep quality, pain relief, and quality of life in older patients who underwent gastrointestinal tumor surgery, showing its potential as a safe and reliable perioperative management scheme.
