Prevalence and clinical profile of chronic pain and its association with mental disorders.
Article in Revista de saude publica, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo identify the prevalence of 12-month self-reported pain and chronic pain in a general population and to describe their clinical profile to assess if chronic pain is associated with 12-month mental disorders.
methodsThe data used comes from the São Paulo Megacity Mental Health Survey, a population-based study assessing adult (≥ 18 years) residents of the São Paulo metropolitan area, Brazil. We have assessed the respondents (n = 5,037) using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI 3.0), with a global response rate of 81.3%. Descriptive analyses have been performed, and crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) have been calculated with logistic and multinomial regression and presented with respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI).
resultsThe prevalence of pain and chronic pain in the past 12 months were 52.6% (95%CI 50.3-54.8) and 31.0% (95%CI 29.2-32.7), respectively. Joints (16.5%, 95%CI 15.4-17.5) and back or neck (15.5%, 95%CI 14.2-16.9) were the most frequently reported anatomical sites of chronic pain. On a 10-point analogue scale, the mean intensity of the worst pain was 7.7 (95%CI 7.4-7.8), and the mean average pain was 5.5 (95%CI 5.2-5.6); the mean treatment response was 6.3 (95%CI 6.0-6.6). Mean pain duration was 16.1 (95%CI 15.6-17.0) days a month and 132 (95%CI 126-144) minutes a day. Chronic pain was associated with 12-month DSM-IV mental disorders (OR = 2.7, 95%CI 2.3-3.3), anxiety disorders (OR = 2.1, 95%CI 1.9-3.0), and mood disorders (OR = 3.3, 95%CI 2.4-4.1).
conclusionsA high prevalence of chronic pain in multiple sites is observed among the general adult population, and associations between chronic pain and mental disorders are frequent.
