The relationship between pain intensity and insomnia in women with deep endometriosis, a cross-sectional study.

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
purposeTo investigate the relationship between pain intensity and insomnia frequency in women with a diagnosis of deep endometriosis. The hypothesis is that these patients with moderate or severe pain have a higher frequency of insomnia than those with mild or no pain.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study of women with deep endometriosis categorized by pelvic pain intensity based on a numerical scale. Insomnia was assessed through a self-reported questionnaire, and multiple logistic regression was used to control for confounders between pain and insomnia.
resultsWe included 234 women in the study, 39 (17%) without pelvic pain; 66 (29%) with mild pain; 53 (23%) moderate pain; and 76 (32%) severe pain. Twenty-nine (74%) pain-free women and 50 (75%) with mild pain had no insomnia; only 3 (8%) of the former and 3 (4%) of the latter group had severe insomnia. However, twenty-nine (55%) women with moderate pain and 37 (48%) with severe pain had insomnia. The logistic regression model showed that moderate to severe pain increased insomnia 2.8 times, twice for every 10 years of pain duration, and twice in women with low education levels.
conclusionsWomen with moderate or severe pain had a high frequency of insomnia, increasing management complexity in patients with deep endometriosis. Pain intensity, pain duration, and low education level increased the chance of insomnia in those patients.
