Prevalence of pain in older adults with chronic lung disease: analysis of the SHARE database.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 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
backgroundChronic lung diseases (CLD) frequently present comorbidities. These include musculoskeletal conditions, most notably chronic pain.
aimTo determine whether the prevalence of pain in older adults with CLD is higher compared to the general population.
methodsThe study is based on data from the 9th wave of the SHARE database, a representative survey of people aged 50 and over in 27 European countries and Israel. Age, sex, smoking status, education, and history of comorbidities were collected. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the associations of CLD with pain prevalence and severity.
resultsA total of 4,129 cases with CLD and 62,608 cases without CLD were included in the analysis. The prevalence of pain was higher in people with CLD compared to people without CLD, with a proportion of 64.8% (95%CI: 63.3-66.2) versus 44.6% (95%CI: 44.2-44.9), respectively (p < 0.001). The location of pain in persons with CLD was greatest in the back region (37.6%, 95%CI: 36.1-39.1) and knees (29%, 95%CI: 27.6-30.4), followed by other joints (24.5%, 95% CI: 23.1-25.8), hips (19.8%, 95%CI: 18.6-21.1), other parts of the body but not joints (18.8%, 95%CI: 17.6-19.9), and all over (4.7%. 95%CI: 4.1-5.4).
conclusionsOlder adults with CLD reported a variety of pain locations, with the back and knees being the most commonly affected regions. In addition, the prevalence and severity of pain were higher in older adults with CLD than in the general population.
