Predictors of cancer-related pain improvement over time.
Trial report in Psychosomatic medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00313573 (TeleCare Management of Pain and Depression in Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 papers.
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.

Abstract
objectiveTo determine the predictors of pain improvement among patients being treated for cancer-related pain over 12 months.
methodsA secondary analysis of the telephone care Indiana Cancer Pain and Depression trial was performed. Patients (n = 274) were interviewed at baseline and after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Pain improvement outcomes included both a continuous measure (Brief Pain Inventory score) and a categorical measure (pain improved versus pain not improved). Predictor variables included change in depression, age, sex, race, marital status, socioeconomic disadvantage, medical comorbidity, type of cancer, and phase of cancer. Multivariable repeated measures were conducted, adjusting for intervention group assignment, baseline pain severity, and time in months since baseline assessment.
resultsFactors significantly predicting both continuous and categorical pain improvement included participating in the intervention group (β = -0.92, p < .001, odds ratio [OR] = 2.53, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.65-3.89), greater improvement in depression (β = -0.31, p = .003, OR = 1.84, 95% CI = 1.35-2.51), higher socioeconomic status (Socioeconomic Disadvantage index; β = 0.25, p = .034; OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.56-0.94), and fewer comorbid conditions (β = 0.20, p = .002; OR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.73-0.96). Patients with more severe pain at baseline or with recurrent or progressive cancer were less likely to experience continuous or categorical pain improvement, respectively.
conclusionsEffective management of depression and comorbid conditions along with improvement of social services could be critical components of a comprehensive pain management. Patients with more severe pain or with recurrent or progressive cancers may require closer monitoring and adequate treatment of pain. Trial Registration clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00313573.
