Interventions to decrease pain and anxiety in patients undergoing urodynamic study: Is there any clear evidence? A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Arab journal of urology, 2026. 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
Urodynamic study (UDS) is a valuable diagnostic procedure for assessing lower urinary tract symptoms but often induces pain and anxiety due to its invasive nature. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of various interventions to reduce pain and anxiety in patients undergoing UDS. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, EMBASE, and EBSCO up to October 2024. Twenty-two studies, including randomized controlled trials and observational studies, were included. Risk of bias was assessed using RoB 2, ROBINS-I, and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Meta-analysis using Review Manager 5.3 showed that providing detailed information to patients significantly reduced pain (SMD: 0.84; 95% CI: 0.20-1.48;
