Examining the Association of Pain and Pain Frequency With Self-Reported Difficulty in Activities of Daily Living and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Findings From the Longitudinal Aging Study in India.

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
objectivesWe examined the prevalence and associations of self-reported difficulty in activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) with pain among community-dwelling older adults in India. We also explored the interaction effects of age and sex in these associations.
methodsWe used the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) Wave 1 data (2017-2018). Our unweighted sample included 31,464 older adults aged 60 years and above. Outcome measures were having difficulty in at least 1 ADL/IADL. We conducted multivariable logistic regression analyses to examine the association of pain with functional difficulties controlling for selected variables.
resultsA total of 23.8% of older adults reported ADL and 48.4% reported IADL difficulty. Among older adults who reported pain, 33.1% reported difficulty in ADL and 57.1% reported difficulty in IADL. The adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for ADL was 1.83 (confidence interval [CI]: 1.70-1.96) and for IADL was 1.43 (CI: 1.35-1.51) when respondents reported pain compared with those without pain. Older adults who reported frequent pain had 2.28 and 1.67 times higher odds of ADL (aOR: 2.28; CI: 2.07-2.50) and IADL difficulty (aOR: 1.67; CI: 1.53-1.82) compared with those with no pain. Additionally, age and sex of the respondents significantly moderated the associations of pain and difficulty in ADL and IADL. DISCUSSION: Given the higher prevalence and likelihood of functional difficulties among older Indian adults who experienced frequent pain, interventions to mitigate pain in this vulnerable population are needed to ensure active and healthy aging.
