Prevalence of pain and associated factors in Brazilian civil servants: an introductory analysis using baseline data from the ELSA-Brasil cohort.
Article in Pain reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionIn Brazil, the prevalence and costs of pain will increase substantially with population ageing. Understanding of pain epidemiology is needed for the development of health care policies that can minimize this projected burden.
objectiveTo investigate the prevalence of pain and associated factors at baseline of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil).
methodsData were collected in public institutions of higher education/research (2008-2010). Pain in the past 30 days and pain attributed to psychological distress ("with psychological attributions"-PPA) were evaluated by the Clinical Interview Schedule-Revised (CIS-R). The independent
resultsFifteen thousand ninety-five civil servants were included (52.1 ± 9.1 years, 54.4% female). The prevalence of any pain was 62.4% (95% confidence interval 61.6%-63.2%), and of PPA was 22.8% (95% confidence interval 22.2%-23.5%). Factors associated with any pain and PPA in multivariable analyses included age (odds ratio [OR] 0.97), female sex (OR 1.86-2.01), moderate and vigorous leisure-time physical activity (OR 0.60-0.84), excessive drinking (OR 0.68-0.83), depressive symptoms (OR 1.28-1.96), anxiety symptoms (OR 1.63-2.45), sleep disturbance (OR 1.62-1.79), and arthritis/rheumatism (OR 1.32-2.18). Nonroutine nonmanual occupation (manual occupation as reference), body mass index, and smoking were independently associated with either any pain or PPA.
conclusionThis study provided preliminary information on the epidemiology of pain at baseline of the largest Latin American cohort on chronic noncommunicable diseases.
