Chronic Pain in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Cross Sectional Study.
Article in Tanaffos, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Many individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) report suffering from chronic pain, which affects their quality of life. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, characteristics and impact of chronic pain in patients with COPD, and to explore its possible predictive and aggravating factors. Materials and Methods: It was a cross-sectional study. Male individuals with COPD responded to a questionnaire, including mMRC, CAT, Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) (composed of Worst pain, Pain Severity Score (PSS) and Pain Interference Score (PIS)), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Patients were divided into group 1 (G1) with chronic pain, and group 2 (G2) without chronic pain. Results: Sixty eight patients were included. The general prevalence of chronic pain was 72.1% (CI95%:10.7%). The most common site of pain was the chest (54.4%). Analgesics were used in 38.8%. Patients from G1 had more hospital admissions in the past (OR=6.4[1.7-23.4]). Three variables were associated to pain in the multivariate analysis: socio-economic level (OR=4.6[1.1-19.2]), hospital admissions (OR=0.087[0.017-0.45]), and CAT (OR=0.18[0.05-0.72]). Dyspnea was associated to PIS (p<0.005). A correlation was found between PSS and PIS (r=0.73). Six patients (8.8%) retired because of pain. Patients who had CAT≥10 were more in G1 (OR=4.9[1.6-15.7]). CAT was correlated to PIS (r=0.5). G1 demonstrated higher anxiety scores (p<0.05). There was a moderate positive correlation between depression symptoms and PIS (r=0.33). Conclusion: Pain should be systematically assessed in COPD patients, regarding its high prevalence. New guidelines should take into consideration pain management to ameliorate patients' quality of life.
