Television decreases intra-operative hypertensive events in cataract surgery: a randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06356324 (The Effects of Music and Television on Intraoperative Hypertensive Events in Cataract Surgery), 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
purposeTo compare the effects of television (TV) vs. music vs. control on hypertensive events and anxiety in cataract surgery.
methodsA prospective, single-masked, randomized controlled trial of 476 adult cataract surgery patients at a surgical center in New York. Patients were randomized to either listen to classical music, view a home design and renovation program, or a control group. Blood pressure, heart rate, and anxiety levels (VAS-A) were measured before and 20 minutes post-intervention. Intra-operative hypertensive events (IOEs) were recorded.
resultsOf 650 enrolled patients, 476 (27% exclusion) completed the study and a per-protocol analysis was used. In first-time cataract surgeries, the TV group had significantly fewer IOEs than controls (0 (0%) vs. 9 (10.3%), difference 10.3%; 95% CI, 3.9% to 16.7%; p = 0.003). Music did not show a significant IOE reduction vs. control (6 (6.4%) vs. 9 (10.3%), difference - 4.0%; 95% CI, -12.0% to 4.1%; p = 0.334). TV trended toward fewer IOEs than music but did not reach significance (0 (6.4%) vs. 6 (0.0%), difference 6.4%; 95% CI, 1.4% to 11.3%; p = 0.030, adjusted p = 0.025). Decreased VAS-A was reported between music vs. control (0.88 vs. 0.17, difference 0.71; 95% CI, 0.39 to 1.03), TV vs. control (0.84 vs. 0.17, difference 0.67; 95% CI, 0.35 to 1.02), music vs. TV (0.88 vs. 0.84, difference 0.04; 95% CI, -0.32 to 0.37).
conclusionsViewing TV before surgery was associated with fewer IOEs in first-time cataract surgery patients. Music and TV were associated with lower pre-operative anxiety and might contribute to decreased IOEs that can be explored in future studies.
