The impact of music intervention during emergency suturing on patients' pain and anxiety: a meta-analysis.

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
Objective: To evaluate the effects of music intervention on pain and anxiety in patients undergoing emergency suturing. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched up to September 9, 2025. Randomized controlled trials comparing music intervention with standard care during emergency laceration repair were included. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled using a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I Results: Four RCTs involving 388 patients were included. Music intervention significantly reduced pain compared with standard care (SMD = -0.28, 95% CI - 0.48 to -0.08; I Conclusion: Music intervention during emergency suturing significantly reduces pain and may provide modest benefits in alleviating anxiety.
