Individual differences in momentary pain-affect coupling and their associations with mental health in patients with chronic pain.
Article in Journal of psychosomatic research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06355414 (Psilocybin and Affective Function in Chronic Lower Back Pain Depression), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers, 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.

Abstract
objectivePain and affect are generally associated. However, individuals may differ in the magnitude of the coupling between pain and affect, which may have important implications for their mental health. The present study uses ecological momentary assessments (EMA) to examine individual differences in momentary pain-affect coupling and their associations with depressive and anxiety symptoms.
methodsThis study is a secondary data analysis of three primary EMA studies. Participants were a total of 290 patients with chronic pain. Results were synthesized across studies using meta-analytic techniques.
resultsIndividuals whose pain was more strongly concurrently coupled with affect (positively associated with negative affect or negatively associated with positive affect) reported higher levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms. Results from lagged analyses suggest that individual differences in affect reactivity to pain were not significantly associated with depressive or anxiety symptoms.
conclusionThese findings suggest that individuals with greater concurrent coupling between pain and affect experience more mental health problems. Potential avenues for future research include intervention strategies that target the decoupling of pain and affect experiences in patients with chronic pain.
