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
Introduction: In most surgical operations, the type of surgery has been shown to influence preoperative anxiety, which in turn leads to changes during surgery. The aim of this study is to investigate how preoperative anxiety is affected by the type of surgery in patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia. Material and Methods: This prospective comparative observational study involved patients who underwent oral and maxillofacial surgery at Aydın Adnan Menderes University. Patients were divided into the minor surgery and the major surgery groups. Preoperative anxiety measured by the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S) and STAI-Trait (STAI-T) and the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS). Postoperative pain measured by visual analog scale (VAS) at the first and fourth hours, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) were observed within 6 h. Results: A total of 120 patients were included in the study; 60 in the major surgery group and 60 in the minor surgery group. Preoperative anxiety scores were significantly higher in the minor surgery group compared to the major surgery group (STAI-S: 49.15 ± 12.82 vs. 43.26 ± 13.70; STAI-T: 45.65 ± 10.97 vs. 39.90 ± 7.48; Conclusion: Preoperative anxiety can affect patients in the intraoperative and postoperative periods. This study, which evaluated the effect of surgery type on anxiety, found that patients who underwent minor surgery showed higher anxiety scores compared to patients who underwent major surgery. Since there is a multifactorial relationship between pain, postoperative discomfort, and preoperative anxiety; this study found that the type of surgery the patient underwent was a more influential factor than anxiety in terms of pain and postoperative discomfort.
