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
Introduction: The co-occurrence of depression and chronic pain causes additive adverse effects on patients" outcomes, response to treatment, and poorer functioning. Despite this, there is a dearth of studies in developing countries. Therefore, this study aimed to provide a new insight into the understanding of the prevalence and associated factors between chronic pain and depression among patients with chronic pain in Jimma town public hospitals. Methods: Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Jimma town public hospitals. A total of 422 sampled patients with chronic pain participated in the study. Depression was assessed using the PHQ-9 scale. The coded data were entered to Epi Data version 3.1 and exported into SPSS version 23.0 for analysis. Logistic regression analysis model was used to identify factors independently associated with depression. Result: The prevalence of depression among chronic pain patients was found to be 43.3%. The number of presenting compliant (AOR = 3.092, 95% CI: 1.684-5.678), history of depression (AOR = 0.319, CI: 0.133-0.766), pain intensity (AOR = 5.296, 95% CI: 2.018-13.901), pain location (AOR = 0.318, 95% CI: 0.158-0.638), pain persistence (AOR = 5.163, 95% CI: 2.784-9.576), the extent the pain compromised the respondent quality of life (AOR = 3.816, 95% CI: 1.685-8.643), and episodes of the pain associated with activities (AOR = 0.247, 95% CI: 0.138-0.442) were significantly associated with depression among patients with chronic pain. Conclusion: This study has shown a high prevalence of depression among patients with chronic pain. Furthermore, depression was associated with various pain-related factors. Hence, effective screening and management of depression among chronic pain patients' needs noteworthy attention.
