Graded chronic noncancer pain distribution using the Graded Chronic Pain Scale-Revised framework: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Pain reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Introduction: Chronic noncancer pain affects approximately one-fourth in population-based studies calling for more nuanced insights by applying the Graded Chronic Pain Scale-Revised (GCPS-R) framework for classifying graded chronic noncancer pain distribution in national disease surveillance. Methods: A cross-sectional study inviting randomly 25,000 adults 16 years and older to self-report questionnaires comprising the GCPS-R framework as part of the nationwide Danish National Health Survey 2023. Prevalences (%) and multivariate-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) by ordinal logistic regression were calculated for GCPS-R by sex, area of living, age, country of origin, socioeconomic factors, body mass index, and Charlson Comorbidity Index. Results: The prevalence of chronic noncancer pain was overall 28.1% (95% CI 27.2%-29.0%) in 8,643 included individuals without cancer diagnosis counting 7.4% (6.9%-8.0%) with mild-impact, 7.1% (6.6%-7.6%) with bothersome-impact, and 13.6% (12.9%-14.4%) with high-impact chronic noncancer pain. Women had 66% (odds ratio (OR) 1.66; 95% CI 1.50-1.84) elevated odds of more severely graded chronic noncancer pain referenced to men. Socioeconomic factors influenced odds inversely. Body mass index was related to GCPS-R by dose-response effects of more than doubled elevated odds in World Health Organization obese class II (2.42; 1.92-3.06) and obese class III (4.43; 3.30-5.93) referenced to normal body mass index individuals. Comorbidity elevated odds of more severely graded chronic noncancer pain by 86% (1.86; 1.57-2.19) referenced to individuals without comorbidity. Conclusions: More than one-quarter individuals reported chronic noncancer pain characterized particularly by high-impact graded chronic noncancer pain when applying the GCPS-R framework for classifying graded chronic noncancer pain distribution in national disease surveillance for rational health care administration.
