Perioperative Music Therapy Enhances Pain Management and Sleep Quality in Patients Aged 50-70 Years Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Journal of pain research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: Music therapy (MT) has recently shown its value in alleviating pain in surgical patients. To explore its perioperative analgesic effects in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) under general anesthesia, we conducted a randomized single-blind clinical trial. Patients and Methods: Eighty-six patients aged 50-70 years (ASA II-III) undergoing TKA at Honghui Hospital were randomly assigned to either a music group or a control group. The music group listened to music via headphones from 10 minutes before anesthesia induction until awakening after surgery. The control group wore headphones without music for the same period. All patients received standardized general anesthesia with BIS values maintained between 40 and 60. Postoperatively, a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump was used. Outcome measures included Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain scores, analgesic dosage, PCA usage, Nausea VAS (NVAS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and satisfaction with analgesia at 1h, 2h, 3h, 12h, 24h, and 48h after surgery. Results: The music group showed significantly fewer PCA presses at 1h and 3h post-operation ( Conclusion: Perioperative music therapy can effectively support PCA for a specific postoperative period, alleviating early postoperative pain, enhancing sleep, and improving patient satisfaction with analgesia in TKA patients.
