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.

Abstract

objectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine the association between presence of chronic pain and school functioning among school-aged children (6 to 17 y) using the most recent United States national data. MATERIALS AND

methodsSecondary data analyses of the 2016-2017 National Survey of Children's Health. Parents (n=48,254) reported on whether their child had chronic pain over the past 12 months. Parents also reported on school functioning including (1) engagement with school, (2) number of school days missed, (3) problems at school, (4) repeating a grade, and (5) diagnosis of a learning disability. Children with chronic pain were compared with children without chronic pain using multivariate logistic regression models. We also stratified analysis according to age and sex.

resultsIn multivariate analyses, children with pain were more likely to have low school engagement (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.4, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.0-1.9), be chronically absent (OR: 4.2, 95% CI: 3.0-5.8), have school-related problems (OR: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.5-2.3), repeat a grade (OR: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.0-2.0), and be diagnosed with a learning disability (OR: 1.6, 95% CI: 1.1-2.5). In stratified analyses, associations between chronic pain and school measures were strongest among adolescents (15 to 17 y of age) and males. DISCUSSION: This study extends evidence linking chronic pain status to poorer school functioning in a large, national sample. Poor school functioning is a pressing public concern affecting children with chronic pain. Health care providers, educators, policymakers, and families should work together to ensure that needs are met for this vulnerable population.
