Changes in whole body pain intensity and widespreadness during urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome flares-Findings from one site of the MAPP study.
Article in Neurourology and urodynamics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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 investigate changes in whole body pain during urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome (UCPPS) flares. MATERIALS AND
methodsUCPPS participants at one site of the multidisciplinary approach to the study of chronic pelvic pain research network reported their daily flare status and pain levels in 7 pelvic/genital and 42 extrapelvic body areas (scale = 0-10) for 10 days at baseline and during their first flare. Linear mixed models and conditional logistic regression were used to investigate symptom changes during flares. Analyses were stratified by chronic overlapping pain condition (COPC) status.
resultsFifty-five out of 60 participants completed the study, 27 of whom provided information on both nonflare (n = 281) and flare (n = 208) days. Pelvic/genital pain intensity (mean change = 3.20 of 10) and widespreadness (mean = 1.48) increased significantly during flares for all participants (all P interaction > .1), whereas extrapelvic pain intensity increased significantly only among participants with COPCs (mean = 2.09; P interaction < .0001). Pelvic/genital and extrapelvic pain also varied on nonflare days but symptom fluctuations were generally ≤1 point (80.0%-100% of participants). Increases of ≥2 points in pelvic/genital pain intensity (odds ratio (OR) = 22.0, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 4.0-118.6) and ≥1 point in urination-related pain (OR = 9.10, 95% CI = 1.74-47.7) were independently associated with flare onset for all participants.
conclusionOur observations of extrapelvic pain increases during flares for patients with COPCs and our independent associations between pelvic/genital/urination-related pain intensity and flare onset may provide insight into mechanisms underlying flare development (eg, common biologic pathways between UCPPS phenotypes and flares), flare management (eg, local vs systemic therapies by COPC status), and patient flare definitions.
