Impact of White Noise Therapy on Knee Joint Function and Quality of Life in Patients with Meniscus Injuries.
Article in Noise & health. 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
objectiveTo investigate the effects of white noise therapy on knee joint function and quality of life in patients with meniscus injuries.
methodsThis retrospective study included patients with meniscus injuries treated in Jinhua Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2023 to June 2025. According to the nursing methods received, the patients were allocated to a conventional nursing group ( n = 30), which received the patch therapy guided by Hogan theory, and a combined nursing group ( n = 30), which received white noise therapy on the basis of conventional care. The quality of life and knee joint function of the two groups were compared, and the patients' pain levels and psychological state were observed.
resultsAfter the nursing treatment, the Visual Analogue Scale, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Self-Rating Depression Scale scores of both groups decreased, and the scores were lower in the combined nursing group ( P < 0.05). After the nursing treatment, the Lysholm score, Hospital for Special Surgery score, knee joint range of motion and Short Form-36 Health Survey score increased in both groups but were higher in the combined nursing group ( P < 0.05).
conclusionWhite noise therapy is significantly correlated with a reduction in pain levels, improvement in knee joint function and an increase in quality of life in patients with meniscus injury.
