Measuring Patients' Anxiety Before and After MRI Examination in Taif City.
Article in Cureus, 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
MRI plays a major role in diagnosing a wide range of pathological conditions, yet many patients experience anxiety before and during the scan. This study examined the degree of patient anxiety before and after MRI examinations in Taif City, as well as the factors contributing to heightened anxiety. A cross-sectional survey of 184 patients was conducted, and the results showed that anxiety was higher prior to the examination, influenced by claustrophobia, noise levels, and insufficient pre-scan information. Women and older adults reported significantly higher anxiety levels. These findings highlight the importance of improved patient communication, education, and anxiety-management measures to enhance scan tolerance and avoid premature termination.
