Attitudes and Beliefs of College Students towards Pain Management Modalities: Theory of Planned Behavior Approach.

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
Background: Chronic pain exhibits a burdening onset and duration in young adults. It is critical to understand appropriate pain management decision-making. Objective: To investigate the associations of attitudes and beliefs of college students with their intention and behavior toward pain management modalities using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Methods: In this cross-sectional online survey study, we recruited college students (age≥18 years) at West Virginia University, Morgantown, West Virginia, United States. We examined four pain management modalities: Over-the-Counter (OTC) pain medications, prescription pain medications (R Results: Of the 364 returned surveys, 227 were completed and analyzed. Attitude was found to be significantly associated with the intention to use all pain management modalities, while PBC was significantly associated with the intentions to use R Conclusion: College students' attitude and PBC were the top predictors of intention to choose pain management modalities, and intention predicted behavior. Research with robust study design is needed to confirm our study findings.
