Professional education about pain in children and adolescents and current treatment practices among healthcare professionals working in Lebanon: a survey study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundProfessional education has been suggested to be a key barrier in the implementation and availability of treatment programs for children and adolescents with pain. The purpose of this study was to improve our understanding of the pain education of healthcare professionals working with children and adolescents with pain in Lebanon, and the current assessment and treatment practices that are used with them in Lebanon.
methodsA group of 120 experienced healthcare professionals participated. Participants had to respond to an online survey with 47 questions about pain education and organizational characteristics of their pain treatment programs.
resultsThe results of the study mainly showed that most participants (80%) reported having not received any type of related formal training. Treatment of children and adolescents with chronic pain was mostly based on medical procedures. A third of participants (34%) reported to be, at least, dissatisfied with the treatment provided in Lebanon to children and adolescents with pain.
conclusionsThe findings can now be used to improve pain education to healthcare professionals and the care given to children and adolescents with pain in Lebanon. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
