Light color temperature on stress, anxiety and well-being in high-risk pregnant women during the non-stress test: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Reproductive health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06736873 (Effect of Light Color on Stress, Anxiety, and Psychological Well-being During Nonstress Test in Pregnant Women at Risk), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundIncreased frequency of fetal health assessment methods and uncertainties about their results cause high-risk pregnant women to experience increased stress and anxiety. This study aims to determine the effect of light color temperature on stress, anxiety and psychological well-being in high-risk pregnant women undergoing a non-stress test (NST).
methodsThis randomized controlled experimental study included 100 high-risk pregnant women. The trial protocol was registered (Clinical trial number: NCT06736873, date: 12/05/2024). Data were collected through the Personal Information Form, the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The high-risk pregnant women in the intervention group underwent the non-stress test after the light color temperature was adjusted to medium-warm white.
resultsSignificant improvements were observed between the intervention group’s PSS pre-test (32.16 ± 5.75) and post-test (27.12 ± 6.65), PWBS pre-test (26.78 ± 2.13) and post-test (28.46 ± 3.11), and STAI pre-test (58.62 ± 1.30) and post-test (51.60 ± 3.11) mean scores (p < 0.05). As to the control group, while the differences between the STAI pre-test (58.46 ± 1.24) and post-test (58.54 ± 1.41) and PWBS pre-test (26.96 ± 2.45) and post-test (26.84 ± 2.41) mean scores were significant (p < 0.05), the difference between the PSS pre-test (30.98 ± 5.75) and post-test (30.88 ± 5.75) mean scores was not significant (p > 0.05).
conclusionsThis study indicates that in the intervention group, the use of light color temperature during the NST reduced stress and anxiety levels and enhanced psychological well-being levels in high-risk pregnant women. While the pre-post differences in the control group were not significant for the Perceived Stress Scale, they were significant for Psychological Well-Being and Anxiety, albeit with a minimal or unfavorable magnitude of change. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: NCT06736873 (Date: 12/05/2024).
