Effect of Video-Animated Information on Anxiety, Satisfaction, and Pain in Men Undergoing Transperineal Prostate Biopsy: A Randomized Controlled Study.
Trial report in Annals of surgical oncology, 2026. 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
backgroundTransperineal (TP) prostate biopsy is increasingly preferred due to lower infection rates but is associated with procedural pain and patient anxiety. Lack of knowledge about the procedure contributes significantly to distress and reduces satisfaction. This study investigated whether video-animated patient information improves anxiety, pain perception, satisfaction, and tolerability during TP prostate biopsy under local anesthesia.
methodsIn this prospective, randomized controlled study, 103 men scheduled for TP biopsy were assigned to a video group (n = 48), receiving standard written/verbal information plus animated video, or a nonvideo group (n = 55), receiving standard information alone. Anxiety was assessed by using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), pain via a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and satisfaction/tolerability with a 4-point Likert scale. Pre- and postinformation STAI-S scores, procedural VAS scores, and postprocedure satisfaction and tolerability were compared.
resultsBaseline demographics and STAI scores were similar. Pain during local anesthesia and overall procedural pain were significantly lower in the video group (p = 0.016 and p = 0.028). Postprocedure satisfaction and tolerability were higher in the video group (p = 0.01 for both). STAI-S scores decreased in both groups, with a greater reduction in the video group (p = 0.07). Pain during probe placement and biopsy needle insertion was lower in the video group but not statistically significant.
conclusionAnimated video-based information effectively reduces anxiety, lowers perceived pain during local anesthesia, and improves satisfaction and tolerability during TP prostate biopsy. Implementing simple, low-cost video education may enhance patient experience, support repeat procedures, and promote patient-centered care.
