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
Objectives: To evaluate the impact of a pre-operative instructional video for patients undergoing minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) on patient satisfaction following surgery, pre-procedure anxiety, postoperative pain, and patient preparedness. Methods: A randomized control trial was performed at an academic subspecialty gynecologic clinic. A total of 57 patients participated in the study who underwent robotic or laparoscopic surgery with same day discharge after surgery between October 2023 and March 2025. Patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups: preoperative video in addition to standard physician counseling and standard physician counseling alone prior to surgery. Results: Patients who received supplemental video counseling had higher satisfaction scores compared to those in the control group. No differences were seen in preparedness levels, pre-procedural anxiety, medication compliance, narcotic use, postoperative pain, number of postoperative visits, or number of MyChart and telephone encounters. Conclusions: Video counseling can be utilized to improve patient satisfaction for gynecologic surgeries. Future considerations include continued development of these tools and further study on their potential benefits for improved clinical efficiency. Innovation: As technology evolves, we can continue to advance the care patients receive in the perioperative period. Audiovisual instruction can help provide patients with a visually appealing option to guide them through the steps of the recovery process and may be able to improve efficiency in the clinic visit.
