Effect of Buddhist music on intraoperative and postoperative opioid requirements during general anesthesia: A randomized controlled pilot study.
Article in iScience, 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
Music therapy has been associated with reduce perioperative anxiety and pain, but evidence on intraoperative Buddhist music therapy during general anesthesia is limited. We conducted a double-blind, randomized controlled pilot study in 32 adults undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia, assigned to Buddhist music, mute (ambient noise insulation), or control group. Earbuds were applied after anesthetic induction, and the music intervention was continued throughout surgery. Outcomes included intraoperative and postoperative opioid (fentanyl) consumption, administration frequency, and postoperative pain intensity. Compared with the mute group, the music group had lower cumulative postoperative opioid use (
