Effects of music during endoscopy on pain, anxiety and vital signs: a randomized controlled study.
Trial report in BMC complementary medicine and therapies, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06756919 (EFFECTS OF MUSIC THERAPY DURING ENDOSCOPY ON PAIN, ANXIETY AND VITAL SIGNS), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
aimsThe aim of this study was to the effects of music during the endoscopy procedure on anxiety, pain and vital signs.
methodsThis study was conducted as a randomized, controlled, double-blind trial. The study population consisted of patients in the endoscopy unit of a university hospital between June and December 2023. The patients were randomly divided into the experimental group (n = 38), who listened to music during endoscopy, and the control group (n = 37), which did not receive any intervention other than routine nursing care. This study, data were collected via a patient information form, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-State), the visual analogue scale (VAS), and a vital signs monitoring form. A significance level of 0.05 was used to interpret the results.
resultsWithin-group analysis revealed a statistically significant decrease in postprocedural anxiety (STAI) and pain (VAS) scores in both the music and control groups (all p values = 0.001). However, between-group analysis revealed no statistically significant difference between the music and control groups in terms of postprocedural anxiety (p = 0.645) and pain (p = 0.132). A statistically significant difference was found in oxygen saturations of patients in the experimental and control groups before endoscopy (p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were found between the groups in terms of heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, or pain level after endoscopy and at the 5th minute of endoscopy (p > 0.05).
conclusionsMusic during endoscopy was not found to have statistically significant differences between groups in terms of heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, or pain level. It is also possible that the positive effect observed within groups was related to the completion of the procedure, excluding the music. It can lead to studies for more and larger working groups.
