Influence of parental occupation on access to specialised treatment for paediatric chronic pain: a retrospective study.
Article in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to determine patients' travel distances to a tertiary paediatric pain clinic and to analyse the association between travel distance and the parents' occupational skill level and the patients' pain characteristics. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe retrospective study consisted of 2,248 children assessed at the first evaluation. All children (0-20 years) who visited the clinic during a 5-year period (2005-2010) were enrolled in this study.
resultsThe mean travel distance was 81 km, and the 80 % catchment area was 109 km. Children of parents with a high occupational skill level had a 1.5-fold higher probability of travelling from outside the catchment area. The 80 % catchment area increased constantly with increasing occupational skill level. Additional significant factors for greater distance travelled were high impairment, musculoskeletal pain, long pain duration and a high number of previous physician contacts.
conclusionThe association between travel distance and parental occupational skill level suggests that there is social injustice due to access barriers based on socioeconomic deprivation and education. An increase in the number of health care facilities for chronic pain in children would be a first step in rectifying this injustice.
