Association between Pain, Catastrophic Thinking, and Health-related Quality of Life in Patients with Hand Fractures.
Article in Progress in rehabilitation medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: : Few reports have investigated the relationship between pain, catastrophic thinking, and health-related quality of life (QOL) in patients with hand fractures. We investigated the correlation between scores of the pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS; rumination, helplessness, and magnification), and between the scores of PCS and health-related QOL based on the Short Form 8 questionnaire (SF-8). Methods: : Thirty-seven patients with hand and finger fractures were treated in a public hospital (16 men, 21 women; mean age, 56.5 years) and were treated by an occupational therapist. The relations between NRS, PCS, and SF-8 scores were examined at 4 to 6 months post-treatment. The effects of hand pain on catastrophic thinking and on mental, psychological, and daily role-based factors were analyzed by correlation and partial correlation analyses. Results: The mean NRS score was 2.13. The mean PCS subitem scores were: rumination, 6.00; helplessness, 1.97; and magnification, 2.18. There were significant positive correlations between the NRS and all PCS scores. Relations between the PCS scores and SF-8 subitem scores, excluding items that were not correlated with NRS in partial correlation analysis, indicated significant negative correlations between multiple PCS subitems and SF-8 subitem scores for role physical, bodily pain, vitality, mental health, and physical component summary. Conclusions: Pain and catastrophic thinking were correlated with health-related QOL in patients with hand fractures. In addition to assessing hand pain, therapists should monitor the effects of mental and psychological factors and daily activities in this group of patients.
