Association of Sleep Disturbance With Catastrophizing and Knee Pain: Data From the Osteoarthritis Initiative.
Article in Arthritis care & research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo investigate the relationship between sleep disturbance, catastrophizing, and knee pain in middle-aged and older individuals.
methodsData from the Osteoarthritis Initiative cohort from months 48 to 96 were used, where month 48 was treated as baseline. Knee pain (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index pain scale score ≥5 [range 0-20]), catastrophizing (extracted from Coping Strategies Questionnaire score ≥3 [range 0-6]), and sleep quality (extracted from Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale [range 1-4]) were assessed annually. We described the association of sleep disturbance with the presence and risk of knee pain and catastrophizing. The mediation effect of knee pain and catastrophizing on the sleep-catastrophizing and sleep-pain association was evaluated, respectively.
resultsCatastrophizing and knee pain were reported in 346 (10%) and 917 (24%) of the 3,813 participants (mean 64.9 years, 58% female) at baseline. Participants with worse sleep disturbance were more likely to have knee pain (prevalence ratio [PR] 1.4-2.0, P for trend <0.001) and catastrophizing (PR 1.4-3.1, P for trend <0.001). Sleep disturbance at baseline predicted the risk of knee pain (risk ratio [RR] 1.1, P for trend <0.001) and catastrophizing (RR 1.2-1.7, P for trend <0.001) during follow-up. No statistically significant interactions between sleep disturbance and knee pain or catastrophizing were observed. Knee pain and catastrophizing mediated the sleep-catastrophizing and sleep-pain association, respectively, at baseline, and knee pain negatively mediated the sleep-catastrophizing association longitudinally.
conclusionSleep disturbance was associated with the presence and risk of catastrophizing and knee pain. Sleep interventions may have a universal and independent effect in preventing incident knee pain.
