Effect of Comedy Movies Watched During Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TUR-P) on Vital Signs and Postoperative Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Pain practice : the official journal of World Institute of Pain, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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
aimThis study was conducted to determine how watching comedy movies affects vital signs and postoperative pain in patients during transurethral prostate resection.
methodsA randomized controlled trial model study was conducted at a hospital in Turkey. Ninety patients were included in the study (comedy: 30, documentary: 30, control: 30). Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Pain Scale, while patient monitors recorded vital signs.
resultsAt the first measurement, the mean pain score in the comedy group was 2.0. Although this value was numerically the lowest among the groups, it was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Across the three groups, baseline VAS values demonstrated similar ranges (95% CI: 2.73-3.41). In the 24th and 48th hour measurements, the pain was again at the lowest level in the comedy group (VAS 24 h 95% CI: 2.12-2.84; VAS 48 h 95% CI: 0.94-1.52; p < 0.001). Although a decrease was observed in the pulse rate of vital signs in all three groups in the postoperative measurements, it was determined that the lowest value was in the comedy group (pulse at operation start 95% CI: 79.92-84.47, 15th minute 95% CI: 73.79-87.69, 30th minute 95% CI: 46.03-68.70, end of surgery 95% CI: 71.75-76.14; p < 0.001). While a decrease in systolic blood pressure was observed in all three groups during and after surgery compared to the preoperative period, it was determined that the most significant decrease was in the comedy group (15th minute 95% CI: 117.12-124.82, 30th minute 95% CI: 74.46-94.95, end of surgery 95% CI: 116.54-123.46; p < 0.05).
conclusionsThe study's results determined that comedy films significantly affected pain management and perioperative vital signs such as pulse and systolic blood pressure.
