Conceptualization of pain in Croatian adults: a cross-sectional and psychometric study.
Article in Croatian medical journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07178548 (Assessing Compliance With Low Back Pain Treatment Guidelines), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
aimTo ascertain whether Croatian respondents' knowledge on pain aligns with modern pain science, and determine the measurement properties of the Croatian version of the Concept of Pain Inventory for Adults (COPI-Adult).
methodsA cross-sectional, online survey was used to collect the respondents' sociodemographic, clinical, and COPI-Adult (CRO) data (n = 509). A Pearson correlation coefficient test was used to assess the correlations between sociodemographic, clinical, and COPI-Adult (CRO) data. Confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach's coefficient, based on classical test theory, were used to determine the measurement properties of the questionnaire.
resultsThe average COPI-Adult (CRO) score was 35.91 ± 5.8 out of 52 and it was similar in respondents with (36.52±6.01) and without (35.36±5.57) formal medical/health care education. Respondents exhibited a reductionist understanding of pain as a result of structural damage. Higher COPI-Adult scores were very weakly correlated with formal medical/health care education, younger age, lower pain intensity, higher pain knowledge self-assessment, and higher education level. Formal medical education significantly moderately correlated with pain knowledge self-assessment (r=-0.425; P<0.001). One-factor COPI-Adult (CRO) model revealed significant factor loadings of each item (P<0.001) and good internal consistency (Cronbach α=0.803).
conclusionsCroatian respondents' concept of pain aligns with their objective knowledge, but only partially with modern pain science. This indicates the need to bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary understandings of pain in the Croatian population. One-factor COPI-Adult (CRO) inventory serves as the first questionnaire for assessing the concept of pain among Croatian adults.
