Treatment expectations among adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain and their parents before an initial pain clinic evaluation.
Trial report in The Clinical journal of pain, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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.
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 understand expectations regarding treatment recommendations among treatment-seeking adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain and their parents.
methodsA total of 102 adolescent-parent dyads were recruited at the time of initial contact with a multidisciplinary pain management clinic. Each participant completed reports of adolescent pain intensity and disability, biopsychosocial perspective of pain, and treatment expectations related to recommendations and feedback for a vignette description of an adolescent presenting at an initial multidisciplinary pain clinic evaluation.
resultsDescriptive findings for individual treatment expectations and adolescent-parent dyad agreement statistics were examined. Slight to fair levels of agreement occurred for 50% of the expectations assessed. The strongest shared expectations were for recommendations to return to school, pursue psychological counseling, and pursue PT/OT treatment. Stronger agreement occurred for items reflecting alternative, emotional, behavioral, and activity recommendations with weaker agreement for medical interventions (eg, medication and surgery). Correlations emerged between individual expectations and adolescent pain intensity, disability, with the greatest number of significant relationships found for adolescent and parent expectations and biopsychosocial perspectives of pain. DISCUSSION: Our results document that adolescents and parents show modest levels of agreement on expectations for treatment at the time of an initial pain clinic evaluation. This may relate to expectations being internal perspectives not clearly expressed within families; thus, the initial treatment consultation may provide an important opportunity to create and align appropriate expectations. Implications of our findings are considered with respect to education, treatment, and future research to understand factors that contribute to treatment adherence and outcomes.
