The Effect of Music Intervention on Analgesia During Bed Baths in the Immediate Postoperative Period of Cardiac Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in Global advances in integrative medicine and health. 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: Pain is a significant complication following cardiac surgery. While pharmacological treatments are standard, non-pharmacological interventions like music offer a promising, low-cost adjunct for pain management. Objective: To evaluate the effect of a music intervention on pain and vital signs during the first postoperative bed bath for patients recovering from cardiac surgery. Methods: This study was a single-blind, randomized controlled trial involving 38 patients who had undergone Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). Patients were allocated to either an experimental group (n = 19), which listened to self-selected music via headphones, or a control group (n = 19), which wore headphones with no audio. The primary outcome, pain, was measured using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and the Wong-Baker FACES Scale (WBS) during and after the bed bath. Results: The music intervention group demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in pain scores both during and after the bath. Compared to the control group, the experimental group's pain scores decreased by a mean of 2.41 points on the NRS ( Conclusion: Music intervention effectively reduced pain and stabilized heart rate during a potentially painful routine procedure in the immediate postoperative period of cardiac surgery.
