Effects of multisensory stimulation based on immersive virtual reality in postoperative neuropsychiatric recovery after gynecological laparoscopy.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 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
Patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery (GLS) often experience postoperative complications, including acute postoperative pain (APSP). This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of immersive virtual reality-based and aromatherapy-enhanced multisensory stimulation (IVR-MS) in patients undergoing GLS. This prospective, randomized controlled trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov on 4/03/2025 (NCT06922838). Participants were randomly assigned to the IVR-MS group (received IVR combined with olfactory stimulation for enhanced multisensory stimulation), the IVR group (received IVR intervention), and the aromatherapy group (received lavender aromatherapy). From baseline to postoperative 24 hours, pain response, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), anxiety, sleep quality, comfort level, rescue analgesic, and abdominal distension were evaluated in patients. Ultimately, 124 participants completed all analyses. Significant statistical differences were observed among the three groups in postoperative pain scores, PCA usage, anxiety levels, comfort, and sleep quality following the intervention. However, no significant differences were found in the classification of abdominal distension. Trial registration This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov (Registration Number: NCT06922838, Registration Date: april 03th, 2025).
