Group-Based Integrative Pain Management: Feasibility of a Factorial Randomized Trial in Safety-Net Primary Care.
Trial report in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeThis pilot study tested the feasibility and acceptability of a pragmatic randomized trial evaluating group-based non-pharmacologic approaches to increase access in primary care and improve pain-related outcomes.
methodsThis 2 × 2 factorial trial assessed two 12-week interventions: group acupuncture and integrative group medical visits (IGMVs). Adults with chronic pain lasting ≥3 months were enrolled from safety-net primary care clinics. Participants were randomized to group acupuncture, IGMVs, both, or neither (usual care). We analyzed data using linear mixed models, ANCOVA, and abductive qualitative analysis.
resultsOverall, 44 participants were randomized (25 English-speaking and 19 Spanish-speaking); 59% were female (mean age = 55 years), 21% African American or Black, 52% Latine, 21% non-Latine White, and 5% more than 1 race; and 78% had annual income <$25 000. At baseline, the average duration of chronic pain was 13.0 years, and the mean pain impact score was 36.0 (SD = 6.4). Participants randomized to interventions attended 6 of 12 sessions on average; 89% would participate again; and 86% reported clinically relevant pain improvements versus 20% in usual care (
conclusionGroup-based integrative pain management is feasible and acceptable when co-located within safety-net primary care.
