1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impacted minoritized individuals. This study examined the relationships between pandemic-related stressors/distress and bodily pain in 79 Native American (NA) and 101 non-Hispanic White (NHW) participants from the Oklahoma Study of Native American Pain Risk. Online surveys were administered in May/June 2020 (wave 1), March/April 2021 (wave 2), and Sept/Oct 2021 (wave 3). Pandemic-related stressors (e.g., resource loss and added responsibilities) and distress were assessed from a custom-built questionnaire. Bodily pain was assessed from pain items on the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15). The results indicate NAs and NHWs reported similar pandemic-related stressors and distress at wave 1, which remained at similar levels across all waves in NHWs. By contrast, stressors and distress increased in NAs at waves 2 and 3. Moreover, bodily pain was higher in NAs than NHWs across all waves. Regression-based multilevel analyses predicting bodily pain found that NHWs with more pandemic-related stressors/distress experienced more bodily pain, but stress/distress did not predict bodily pain in NAs. Findings demonstrated that NAs experienced more bodily pain and pandemic-related stressors/distress than NHWs. However, pandemic-related stressors/distress did not further exacerbate NA pain as observed in NHWs. This implies NAs may have demonstrated resiliency that buffered the pronociceptive effects of pandemic-related stress.
