Positive factors, pain, and function in adults with multiple sclerosis.
Article in Rehabilitation psychology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveMuch is known about the associations between negative factors and adjustment to chronic pain. However, less is known about how positive factors (e.g., positive affect [PA], resilience) function in relation to disability and mood in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). To better understand how positive factors contribute to function we sought to determine if (a) PA and/or trait resilience moderate the associations between pain intensity and function (pain interference, depressive symptoms), and (b) trait resilience concurrently mediates the association between PA and function in a sample of individuals with MS.
methodThere were 455 adults with MS who provided data via an ongoing survey.
resultsControlling for negative affect, demographic, and disease-related variables, cross-sectional path analysis revealed the following: PA and trait resilience did not moderate the associations between pain intensity and pain interference (βPA = 0.01, p = .86; βRESILIENCE = 0.04, p = .33), and pain intensity and depression (βPA = 0.01, p = .79; βRESILIENCE = -0.02, p = .60). However, trait resilience significantly mediated the associations between PA and both criterion variables (abINTERFERENCE = -0.03, p = .03; abDEPRESSION = -0.13, p < .001).
conclusionsThe findings provide preliminary support for the conclusion that PA is indirectly related to pain interference and depression via resilience, rather than serves as a protective function. The findings are consistent with theoretical models suggesting that increases in PA build personal resources. Research examining the potential benefits of increasing PA and resilience to improve pain outcomes in individuals with MS is warranted. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved).
