Impact of Ward Noise Reduction on the Postoperative Outcomes of Patients after Skin Plastic Surgery.
Article in Noise & health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the impact of ward noise reduction on physiological indicators and psychological stress responses in patients after skin plastic surgery.
methodThis retrospective study analysed data from 130 patients. The conventional group comprised 68 patients who did not receive noise reduction management between August 2021 and June 2023, whereas the noise reduction group comprised 62 patients who received such management between July 2023 and August 2024. Wound pain was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at multiple time points. Psychological stress responses were measured with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Sleep quality was assessed using the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), and physiological indicators included heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Ward's sound intensity was also recorded. Comparisons were made between groups before and 2 weeks after noise reduction.
resultsTwo weeks after noise reduction, the noise reduction group demonstrated significantly lower VAS scores, State Anxiety Inventory and Trait Anxiety Inventory subscale scores of the STAI, BDI scores, AIS scores, HR, SBP and DBP than the conventional group (P < 0.05). Ward sound intensity was also significantly lower in the noise reduction group than in the conventional group within the 2-week period (P < 0.05).
conclusionWard noise reduction can alleviate early postoperative pain in patients undergoing skin plastic surgery, reduce psychological stress responses, their associated physiological effects and improve sleep quality.
