Assessing Patient Perceptions of Virtual Reality Use for Pelvic Exams.
Article in Journal of medical extended reality, 2025. 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
The objectives of this study were to evaluate patient willingness to use virtual reality (VR) for future pelvic exams and whether this proclivity is associated with a history of trauma and/or mental health concerns. This was an Institutional Review Board-approved acceptability pilot study performed at a single site with human participants. Trauma/toxic stress (Adverse Childhood Experiences ≥4), post-traumatic stress disorder (Impact of Events Scale ≥26), and anxiety (Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale ≥7) screenings were performed. Patients then attended a proctored VR experience and completed a modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (mUTAUT) survey. Analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Fifty percent (6/12) of patients indicated they would utilize VR during a future pelvic exam. Trauma/toxic stress, post-traumatic stress, and anxiety rates were 25%, 25%, and 58.3% respectively, but were not associated with device use willingness. The mUTAUT scores showed VR proclivity based on
