Associations of self-report and actigraphy sleep measures with experimental pain outcomes in patients with temporomandibular disorder and healthy controls.
Article in Journal of psychosomatic research, 2019. 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
objectiveDiscrepancies between self-reported and actigraphy sleep measures are common, producing ambiguity about which are better predictors of experimental pain outcomes. The current study tested if pain intensity during and situational pain catastrophizing following experimental pain were differentially predicted by self-reported or actigraphy sleep measures in patients with chronic temporomandibular disorder (TMJD) or healthy controls (HCs).
methodsForty patients with TMJD and 20 HCs completed self-report sleep measures (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, PSQI; Insomnia Severity Index, ISI; PROMIS Sleep-Related Impairment [SRI] and Sleep Disruption [SD]), underwent an experimental pain induction consisting of four consecutive cold-water hand immersions, and provided pain intensity and situational pain catastrophizing ratings. Participants also wore an actigraphy watch and completed sleep diaries for seven days, which were averaged for actigraphic indices of total sleep time, sleep efficiency, wake after sleep onset, and self-reported sleep quality and restfulness.
resultsIndividuals with TMJD reported higher pain intensity during experimental pain (M = 65.81 vs. 47.77, p = .007) and self-reported worse sleep compared to HCs (all p's < 0.02, Cohen's D = 0.73-1.25). No group differences emerged for actigraphy measures (all p's > 0.05, Cohen's D = 0.05-0.53). Sleep variables did not interact with group to predict responses to experimental pain (all p's > 0.05). Across groups, PROMIS-SRI predicted pain intensity (β = 0.36, p = .008) and catastrophizing (β = 0.36, p = .009) after controlling for multiple comparisons, smoking, medications, and age.
conclusionSelf-reported sleep (but not actigraphy) measures differentiate patients with TMJD from HCs. Sleep-related interference may place people at particular risk for higher pain intensity and catastrophizing following experimental pain.
