Fears and pre-colonoscopy anxiety: a scoping review.
Article in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 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
objectivesto map the scientific evidence regarding the fears and emotions of patients undergoing colonoscopy, along with associated variables.
methodsa scoping review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute Protocol, guided by the research question: "What are the fears and emotions associated with undergoing a colonoscopy, and associated variables?" A literature search was performed in the PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and RCAAP databases in June 2025, including articles in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.
resultsa total of 512 references were retrieved. After applying the inclusion criteria, 24 articles published between 1990 and 2024 were analyzed. Reported fears and emotions included concerns about medical complications, diagnosis, and pain. Variables such as information about the procedure, previous experiences, and gender influenced anxiety levels.
conclusionsadopting a biopsychosocial approach reduces anxiety and improves both the quality and adherence to colonoscopy, guiding more effective and holistic care interventions.
