Pain management and social functioning limitations among adults with chronic pain by diabetes status: National Health Interview Survey, United States, 2019-2020.
Article in Primary care diabetes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimsThis study aims to describe pain management technique usage and social functioning limitations among adults with chronic pain by diabetes status.
methodsThe 2019 and 2020 National Health Interview Survey data were pooled to complete this analysis. Use of the following techniques in the past 3 months were measured: 1) prescription opioids; 2) physical, rehabilitative, or occupational therapy; 3) talk therapies; 4) chiropractic care; 5) yoga, Tai Chi, or Qi Gong; 6) massage; and 7) relaxation techniques. The social functioning limitations assessed were: 1) doing errands alone; 2) participating in social activities; and 3) work limitations. Weighted prevalence and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated for each outcome by diabetes status. Logistic regression was used to estimate age- and sex-adjusted odds ratios (aORs) to assess differences by diabetes status.
resultsAdults with diabetes and chronic pain were more likely to use prescription opioids (aOR: 1.4; 95 % CI: 1.2, 1.6) but less likely to use various nonpharmacological techniques than those without diabetes. Additionally, adults with diabetes and chronic pain were more likely to report each social functioning limitation than those without diabetes.
conclusionsResults suggest adults with diabetes and chronic pain may be missing beneficial opportunities to manage pain.
