[Importance of education level for effectiveness of multimodal pain therapy].

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
backgroundThe recommended treatment for chronic pain is multidisciplinary with a cognitive approach. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the education level of patients was predictive of main outcome dimensions (pain intensity, disability, depression, physical functioning and return to work). PATIENTS AND
methodsThis was a secondary analysis of 413 patients who participated in an in-patient multidisciplinary pain treatment program. All patients were studied at baseline and after 6 months. The aim was to find predictors for the changes in scores of outcome measures (from admission to follow-up). Possible predictors were educational level and other available variables that are considered prognostic of treatment outcome, including age, gender, body mass index, endurance of pain, pain intensity, depressive symptoms and work status. Classification trees were used to predict outcome variables.
resultsThe outcome was markedly improved in the sampling collective at follow-up compared with baseline. Education was the best predictor of treatment outcome and affected 4 out of the 5 outcome dimensions analyzed.
conclusionIf education level proves to be an intervening variable in further research, education adjusted treatment programs should be developed and evaluated.
