Effect of music therapy on patient experience in gastrointestinal endoscopy: a scoping review.
Article in Journal of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology, 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
Background: Music therapy is a low-cost and low-risk intervention that has been shown to improve patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) in various areas of medicine including gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. A scoping review was performed to answer the following research question: Methods: Guided by the methodologic framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley, 3 medical databases were queried for articles pertinent to the research question and published between January 2005 and December 2024. Studies were selected for inclusion based on established criteria and summarized in a comprehensive data table as well as accompanying figures. Results: A total of 30 original research articles were selected for inclusion. The most reported outcomes were pain ( Conclusions: Music therapy appears to be an effective means of improving anxiety and satisfaction in patients undergoing GI endoscopy. Endoscopists should consider music therapy as a non-pharmacologic adjunct to improve the patient experience in endoscopy.
