The effect of preoperative melatonin patches on sleep quality in patients undergoing urological surgery.
Trial report in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the effects of transdermal melatonin patches on sleep quality in patients undergoing urological surgery.
methodsThis study is a randomized controlled trial. Fifty-seven patients hospitalized in the urology department of a university hospital in Istanbul were included. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups (melatonin and control). Patients in the melatonin group received transdermal melatonin containing 7 mg of melatonin at 11:00 PM in a quiet, darkened room the night before surgery.
resultsAccording to the results of this study, Richards-Campbell Sleep Scale sleep-quality scores increased significantly in the melatonin group (p<0.001). The control group showed lower sleep-quality scores. In addition, a statistically significant decrease was observed between the visual analog scale well-being scores before and after the application in the melatonin group (p<0.001).
conclusionIn this study, our results showed that melatonin patches improved sleep quality and psychological well-being in patients undergoing urological surgery.
