Family Strain, Depression, and Somatic Amplification in Adults with Chronic Pain.
Article in International journal of behavioral medicine, 2019. 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
backgroundThe associations between family strain, depression, and chronic pain interference vary across individuals, suggesting moderated relations, and one possible moderator is somatic amplification. The current study examined a moderated mediation model that investigated (a) whether depression mediated the relation between non-spouse family strain and chronic pain interference and (b) whether somatic amplification moderated the association between depression and chronic pain interference.
methodsData came from 933 adults who participated in the National Survey of Midlife Development in the USA. Participants completed telephone interviews or self-report measures.
resultsThe relationship between non-spouse family strain and chronic pain interference was mediated by depression, and this mediation depended on the degree of somatic amplification. Specifically, individuals who experienced more non-spouse family strain were more likely to experience depression and higher levels of chronic pain interference. Somatic amplification significantly moderated the effect of depression on chronic pain, such that individuals with higher levels of somatic amplification and depression were likely to experience higher levels of chronic pain interference. The indirect effect of non-spouse family strain on chronic pain through depression was significant for low, middle, and high levels of somatic amplification.
conclusionsThe presence of chronic pain has been associated with family dynamics changing, which may be linked with higher levels of non-spouse family strain. A negative family environment may be related to the development of depression, which may be associated with the severity and inability to cope with chronic pain. Somatic amplification may strengthen the association between depression and pain intensity.
