Effects of Music Therapy on Pain, Anxiety, and Quality of Life During Lower Third Molar Extraction: A Randomized Double-Blind Clinical Trial.
Article in International journal of dentistry, 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
Third molar extractions are commonly associated with anxiety, pain, and a negative impact on oral health-related quality of life, potentially compromising patient recovery and overall well-being. Nonpharmacological approaches, such as music therapy, have been investigated as adjunctive strategies to improve perioperative outcomes. This randomized, blinded, controlled clinical trial evaluated the effects of music therapy in 42 patients undergoing third molar extraction, who were allocated into two groups: with and without music therapy. The primary outcomes were pain, assessed using the visual analog scale, and anxiety, measured using the
