Determinants of severity of pain in non-cardiac chest pain patients: A cross sectional study.
Article in ARYA atherosclerosis, 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
backgroundThis study aims to explore the psychosocial factors related to the severity of pain in patients with non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP), providing insights to support more comprehensive and targeted management strategies.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted at two university-affiliated hospitals. Patients diagnosed with NCCP, based on physical examination and angiographic findings, completed questionnaires assessing type D personality, cardiac anxiety, fear of bodily sensations, somatization, depression, and pain severity. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors influencing pain severity levels.
resultsA total of 156 males and 204 females, with a mean age of 55.76 ± 12.83 years, were divided into low-pain (N = 182) and high-pain (N = 178) groups. Higher education and being female were significantly associated with greater pain severity. Depression, type D personality, somatization, and cardiac anxiety were significantly correlated with pain severity. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that self-rated health (OR,: 2.14; 95% CI. :1.18-3.90), depression (OR-11.15; 95% CI-:1.09-1.22), type D personality (OR-: 1.90; 95% CI-: 1.06- 3.41), somatization (OR-: 1.03; 95% CI-: 1.01-1.06), and fear of bodily sensation (OR-: 1.90; 95% CI-: 1.06-3.41), were all associated with pain severity.
conclusionThis study concluded that type D personality, fear of bodily sensations, depression, somatization, cardiac anxiety, and poor self-rated health were associated with increased NCCP severity. By controlling the disease and managing related pain earlier, more coherent treatment strategies can be implemented, ultimately improving patients' quality of life.
