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

purpose of reviewPsychological practices have emerged as promising treatments for coping with chronic pain (CP) as a psychological resilience (PR) enhancer mechanism. These practices contain cognitive, behavioral and emotional modulation of pain. In this regard, classical cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and current trends in CBT, including acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness-based practices may demonstrate significant improvements in pain perception, physical functioning, catastrophic beliefs and fear-avoidance behaviors among patients with CP. However, understanding the neurocognitive mechanisms of these practices includes challenges, such as the need to identify associated brain regions with PR to CP. Our review explored psychological practices to enhance PR as a dynamic neurocognitive process (e.g., changing affect) rather than only being a static trait. RECENT

findingsPsychological practices have promising results in improving positive outcomes for CP sufferers. To illustrate, along with superior PR scores, higher positive affect, adaptive pain beliefs, and physical functioning were reported after these practices. Conversely, lower pain catastrophizing, pain-related fear-avoidance, and self-reported pain ratings were seen as PR factors. Moreover, enhanced PR process may be associated with increased activity of the brain regions, including prefrontal cortex and orbitofrontal cortex, whereas diminished activity, reactivity, and functional connectivity in the anterior cingulate cortex, amygdala and insula. This review discusses the neurocognitive modulation of CP through psychological practices and highlights the role of enhancing the PR process for individuals with CP. As the field continues to evolve, understanding the importance of psychological practices to develop PR-related factors is crucial for increasing pain management outcomes.
