Household catastrophic health expenditure related to pain in Korea.
Article in The Korean journal of pain, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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: The data related to pain and catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) needed to be further explored. This study aims to understand the relationship between pain and CHE. Methods: Using cross-sectional analysis of 4-year data (2015-2018) from the Korea Health Panel, the prevalence of CHE and adjusted odds ratio (AOR) by pain type were confirmed. Results: Among participants (n = 46,597), the prevalence of pain and severe pain were 24.2% and 1.1%, respectively. The use of medical services in emergency rooms, hospitalizations, and outpatients increased in the order of pain-free, pain, and severe pain ( Conclusions: It can be inferred that pain is one of the mechanisms of poverty. Positivist healthcare policies for the prevention and management of pain should be sought.
