Is Past Adjustment of Unhelpful Thinking Associated with Greater Cognitive Flexibility Among People Seeking Musculoskeletal Specialty Care?
Article in Chronic stress (Thousand Oaks, Calif.). 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
Background: Unhelpful thoughts are associated with greater levels of pain intensity and incapability. Difficulty cultivating a healthier inner narrative regarding sensations is associated with lower tolerance of uncertainty and lower cognitive flexibility. Among people seeking musculoskeletal specialty care we analyzed associations between mindset factors and awareness of prior experiences adjusting unhelpful thinking and trust in the clinician. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 163 adults completed measures of mindsets (intolerance of uncertainty, cognitive flexibility, and distress and unhelpful thoughts regarding sensations), awareness of prior experiences adjusting unhelpful thinking, and trust and experiences with clinicians. We measured associations between mindsets (both individually and in statistical clusters) awareness of prior experiences and trust in the clinician. Results: Both awareness of prior experiences adjusting thinking and trust in the clinician were modestly associated with greater cognitive flexibility in bivariate analysis, but neither were associated with statistical groupings with healthier mindsets identified in cluster analysis. Conclusion: The modest associations with cognitive flexibility suggest that both the inability to describe a past experience rethinking one's interpretation of bodily sensations, as well as difficulty establishing trust with the clinician, might signal unhealthy fusion with unhelpful thoughts that are known correlates of greater levels of discomfort and incapability.
