Active or passive pain coping: Which predicts daily physical and psychosocial functioning in people with chronic pain and spinal cord injury?
Observational study in Rehabilitation psychology, 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
PURPOSE/
objectiveDespite medical and psychotherapeutic treatments, chronic pain is one of the most challenging and disabling conditions for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). A growing body of research has demonstrated that pain coping strategies are effective for the adjustment of pain. However, we still lack an understanding of how passive pain coping and active pain coping relate to daily physical and psychosocial functioning for people with chronic pain and SCI. The current study used end-of-day (EOD) diary data to examine associations of passive and active pain coping with same-day independence, positive affect and well-being, social participation, pain catastrophizing, depressive symptoms, and pain interference in adults with chronic pain and SCI. RESEARCH METHOD/
designThis observational study in
resultsResults of multilevel modeling showed that, beyond the effects of key demographic variables, clinical variables (e.g., time since injury, mobility) and daily pain intensity, increased daily passive coping (from that person's average) related to increased same-day depressive symptoms ( CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS: Behavioral interventions for pain often emphasize adoption and practice of new active coping strategies. Findings highlight the potential importance of also addressing passive coping strategies in services of improvement in physical and psychosocial outcomes in individuals with chronic pain and SCI.
