The Effect of Color Therapy on Anxiety in Chemotherapy Patients Attending the Oncology Department: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in SAGE open nursing. 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
Introduction: Anxiety is a prevalent and distressing symptom experienced by cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, which can adversely affect treatment adherence and quality of life. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of color therapy in reducing anxiety in patients undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted involving 190 patients with oncology diagnoses who were admitted to the chemotherapy department. Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group, which was exposed to a blue therapeutic room, or the control group, which was placed in a standard hospital setting. Anxiety levels were assessed using the Beck Anxiety Inventory before the intervention and again after a 20-minute exposure. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 25. Results: The intervention group demonstrated a significant reduction in anxiety scores, decreasing from 57.70 ± 10.14 to 50.03 ± 8.49 ( Conclusion: Color therapy effectively reduces anxiety in chemotherapy patients as a cost-effective and noninvasive complementary method. To implement these findings, oncology units should integrate structured color-based interventions into routine care. Training healthcare staff and conducting pilot studies are essential to ensure proper application and assess feasibility.
