Pain, Pain Catastrophizing, and Individual Differences in Executive Function in Adolescence.
Article in Children's health care : journal of the Association for the Care of Children's Health, 2018. 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
Many adolescents will experience pain at some point in their development that can lead to poor quality of life. The largest risk factor for pain is tendencies to magnify and ruminate on pain, known as pain catastrophizing. One mechanism of catastrophizing may be difficulties with executive function, or the ability to cognitively control information. The objective of the current study was to determine if adolescent executive function difficulties relate to high catastrophizing and pain. Fifty adolescents completed measures of pain, pain catastrophizing, and executive function. Path models revealed relations among gender, executive function domains, pain catastrophizing domains, and pain. In general, pain catastrophizing was associated with problems with shifting and inhibition. Females reported high catastrophizing and pain, partially explained by executive function difficulty. Executive function difficulty may help clinicians identify adolescents prone to catastrophize painful events. Interventions addressing these difficulties may reduce catastrophizing as well as pain intensity and duration.
