The effect of mandala activity on postoperative pain, anxiety, and analgesia use in gynecologic oncology patients: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Cancer causes & control : CCC, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07723794 (Effect of Mandala Coloring on Anxiety, Pain, Vital Signs, and Patient Satisfaction in Patients Undergoing Transurethral Resection of the Prostate), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
purposeNon-pharmacological complementary therapies in cancer treatment strengthen care. This study aims to investigate the effects of mandala activity on postoperative pain, anxiety level and analgesia use in gynaecological oncology patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study is a randomised controlled, two-group pretest/posttest comparative study. The study included 42 patients who underwent open abdominal hysterectomy at a training and research hospital in Istanbul between 1 February and 1 August 2023. Introductory Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I), Postoperative Patient Evaluation Form and Mandala Activity Booklet were used throughout the study.
resultsPreoperative State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I) score was significantly higher in the control group (63.48 ± 5.31) compared to the intervention group (56.33 ± 7.65) (p < .05). Postoperatively, the STAI-I score of the control group decreased to 47.43 ± 8.29, while the intervention group showed a significant decrease to 31.52 ± 6.73. In addition, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores of the control group decreased from 7.17 ± 1.42 preoperatively to 0.82 ± 1.46 postoperatively, while the intervention group scores decreased from 6.68 ± 2.11 to 1.77 ± 1.79, indicating that mandala activity was significant (p < .05).
conclusionIn conclusion, this study showed that postoperative mandala activity effectively reduced pain and anxiety levels and influenced the use of analgesia in gynecologic oncology patients.
