Benzodiazepine Use and Dependence in Relation to Chronic Pain Intensity and Pain Catastrophizing.
Article in The journal of pain, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Benzodiazepines (BZDs), a class of sedative-hypnotic medications, generated concern as their popularity grew, with particular alarm regarding elevated rates of BZD use among chronic pain populations. Consistent with negative reinforcement/motivational models of substance use, desire for pain alleviation may motivate BZD use. Yet, little is known about relations between pain and addiction-relevant BZD use processes. This cross-sectional survey study aimed to: a) test associations between pain intensity and clinically relevant BZD use patterns, and b) examine the role of pain catastrophizing in hypothesized pain-BZD relations. Participants included 306 adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain and a current BZD prescription who completed an online survey study (M
