Non-Pharmacologic Interventions for Hemodynamic Stability During Dental Implant Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Clinical implant dentistry and related research, 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
objectivesTo assess the efficacy of non-pharmacologic interventions, specifically auditory distraction (music or comedy) and haptic distraction (stress-relief device), in maintaining hemodynamic stability during dental implant surgery. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis was a prospective, single-center, randomized trial. We included 150 patients getting single-tooth implants. Patients were split into three groups of 50. The Control group got standard care. The Auditory Distraction group listened to patient-selected Guzheng music or Xiangsheng comedy. The Haptic Distraction group used a stress-relief device. We recorded systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate before and after surgery. We used paired t-tests and one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc tests for analysis.
resultsSurgery increased blood pressure in all groups (p < 0.0001). The heart rate response was different between groups. The Control group had a significant increase in heart rate (p < 0.05). Both the Auditory and Haptic Distraction groups had lower heart rates after surgery (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two interventions.
conclusionsNon-pharmacologic interventions may not fully prevent the rise in blood pressure from procedure-related BP elevation. However, these methods help stop the heart rate from rising due to physiological stress. Listening to familiar music or comedy, or using a simple stress-relief device, can help steady the heart during dental implant surgery. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Auditory and haptic distractions are low-cost, non-invasive, and effective adjuncts for managing procedure-related physiological stress. By stabilizing heart rate, these interventions enhance patient safety and comfort, offering a viable alternative or supplement to pharmacological sedation in implant dentistry.
