Evaluating the performance of the Pain Interference Index and the Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire among Chilean injured working adults.
Article in PloS one, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundChronic pain can lead to economic instability, decreased job productivity, and poor mental health. Therefore, reliable identification and quantification of chronic pain is important for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
objectiveTo determine the psychometric properties of the Spanish language versions of the Pain Interference Index (PII) and the Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPG) among a population of working adults who experienced injury in Santiago, Chile.
methodsA total of 1,975 participants with work-related injuries were interviewed to collect sociodemographic, occupational, and chronic pain characteristics. Construct validity and factorial structure of the PII and SF-MPG were assessed through exploratory factor analyses (EFA). Cronbach's alpha was used to evaluate internal consistency.
resultsThe PII mean score was 3.84 ± 1.43 among all participants. The SF-MPG median score was 11 [IQR: 6-16] in this study population. Cronbach's alpha for the PII was 0.90 and 0.87 for the SF-MP. EFA resulted in a one factor solution for the PII. A two-factor solution was found for the SF-MPG. The two-factors for SF-MPG were sensory and affective subscales with Cronbach's alpha of 0.82 and 0.714, respectively. When the two scales were combined, an EFA analysis confirmed the PII and SF-MPG measure different aspects of chronic pain.
conclusionsThe PII and SF-MPG had good construct validity and reliability for assessing different aspects of chronic pain among working Chilean adults.
