Pain site persistence and changes from childhood to adolescence: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Pediatric research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPain is a complex experience that interferes with the well-being of youth who experience it. We aimed to assess whether recurrent pain sites in childhood can predict later recurrent pain sites prospectively.
methodsPain was assessed using the Luebeck Pain Screening Questionnaire at ages 7, 10, and 13 from the Generation XXI cohort. We used multinomial regression to assess the association of recurrent pain sites at ages 7 and 10 with those at age 13.
resultsWe included 3833 participants. Boys with recurrent abdominal/pelvic pain at age 7 were more likely to report headaches (OR 2.81; 95%CI 1.48-5.34), abdominal/pelvic (OR 2.92; 95%CI 1.46-5.84), and musculoskeletal pain (OR 1.55; 95%CI 1.02-2.34) at age 13. Girls with recurrent abdominal/pelvic pain at age 7 were more likely to report both musculoskeletal (OR 1.62; 95%CI 1.10-2.40) and abdominal/pelvic pain (OR 1.74; 95%CI 1.15-2.65). At age 10, all pain sites were associated with pain in the same site at age 13.
conclusionRecurrent abdominal/pelvic pain at age 7 may be related to the development of various pains in adolescence. Pain at a given site at age 10 can be associated with pain at that same site at age 13. IMPACT: Recurrent abdominal or pelvic pain during childhood was distinctively associated with an increased risk of recurrent pain in other sites during adolescence. Recurrent pain during childhood was associated with pain in the same sites at age 13, and this persistence seemed to emerge between the ages of 7 and 10 for both boys and girls. Studying early pain sites may add to the understanding of the etiology of chronic pain.
