The Relationship Between Pain Intensity and Pain-Related Activity Patterns in Older Adults with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain: Mediating Roles of Pain Resilience and Pain Catastrophizing.

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: To explore the relationship between pain intensity, pain resilience, pain catastrophizing, and pain-related activity patterns in older adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). Patients and Methods: A total of 220 elderly Chinese with chronic musculoskeletal pain were recruited from a tertiary general hospital. Participants completed several measures including a demographic questionnaire, Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Pain Resilience Scale (PRS), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), and Patterns of Activity Measure-Pain (POAM-P). Moreover, Process version 3.5 plug-in SPSS26 was used to test the mediation effect between variables. Results: The scores of POAM-P in older adults with CMP from high to low were: avoidance (27.39 ± 8.10), pacing (24.25 ± 9.48), and overdoing (16.65 ± 10.95). Mediation analysis revealed that pain resilience and pain catastrophizing mediated the relationship between pain intensity and pain-related activity patterns (avoidance and pacing) in older adults with CMP. Conclusion: These results provide evidence for the role of pain resilience and pain catastrophizing in the relationship between pain intensity and pain-related activity patterns. Interventions targeting these factors should be included in activity management programs for elderly CMP patients. It may be possible to reduce the negative impact of pain intensity on activity patterns by improving pain resilience and reducing pain catastrophizing.
