The Relationship Between Psychological Resilience and Pain Threshold and Tolerance: Optimism and Grit as Moderators.
Article in Journal of clinical psychology in medical settings, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
This study examined factors that may enhance the relationship between resilience and time to pain threshold and tolerance during experimentally induced pain among 62 healthy adults recruited from a student population. Specifically, dispositional optimism and psychological grit were examined as moderators of the relationship between resilience and pain outcomes. Zero-order correlations revealed that resilience was positively related to grit and optimism, though grit and optimism were not significantly related to each other. Resilience, grit and optimism were all positively related to time to pain threshold and tolerance, but not pain severity. Moderation models showed that dispositional optimism enhanced the effect of resilience on both time to pain threshold and tolerance. Grit, on the other hand, was found to enhance the effect of resilience on time to pain threshold, but not time to pain tolerance. These results suggest that positive psychological factors and their interactions may be important with persevering during adverse experiences such as pain.
