Association Between Pain and Frailty in Middle-Aged and Older Patients: The Mediating Roles of Sleep and Mood.

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
Purpose: Pain and frailty are significantly social concerns negatively affecting physical and mental health in middle-aged and older population. This study aimed to investigate the association between pain and frailty, with a particular focus on the mediating roles of sleep and mood. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 244 middle-aged and older participants in local hospital. Their pain, frailty, sleep and mental health conditions were assessed through face-to-face interviews. Linear regression analysis was used to examine the association between pain and frailty. Simple and serial mediation models were employed to investigate the complex mediation effects of sleep and mood on pain and frailty. Results: Significant effects were observed in both the pain-frailty nexus and the frailty-pain nexus. For simple mediation models, we identified significant mediation effects of sleep ( Conclusion: Our research provided evidence supporting the robust association between pain and frailty and offered new sights into potential strategies by enhancing sleep quality and mental health for preventing and managing both pain and frailty.
