1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPain, restriction of mobility and cognitive impairment are often present in old age and intensify each other.

objectivesIs there a relationship between mobility, pain, cognitive capacity, diagnoses and number of prescribed medication for residents of nursing homes?

methodsSubgroup analysis of the baseline data from an intervention study for optimization of the medication safety of 120 nursing home residents.

resultsPain was presumed in 77.8% of the residents. Persons with cognitive impairment were more frequently affected. The results of the observational and self-reported pain assessment in cognitively impaired patients did not agree for two-thirds of the cases. A correlation between prevalence of pain, pain intensity and mobility could only be shown for persons without cognitive impairment. Half of the persons were unable to walk; 80% of the residents with analgesics as a permanent medication were more restricted in their mobility.

conclusionsCognitive impairment is associated with pain and reduced mobility, whereby self-rated pain did not concur with the observational pain assessment for two-thirds of the residents with cognitive impairment. This illustrates the difficulty of observational pain assessment.
