Psychopathological Symptomatology and Sleep Quality in Chronic Primary Musculoskeletal Pain: A Comparison with Healthy Controls.

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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesChronic musculoskeletal pain without a clearly identifiable medical cause is characterised by significant emotional distress and/or functional disability. Given the relatively limited research specifically addressing chronic primary musculoskeletal pain (CPMP), as defined in the latest revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), the present study aimed to examine its psychopathological and sleep-related implications, and to explore whether pain intensity is associated with psychological distress and poor sleep quality.
methodsThis observational study included 60 adult participants, comprising 30 patients diagnosed with CPMP and 30 healthy controls without any diagnosis. Participants completed the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), the Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
resultsPatients with CPMP exhibited significantly higher levels of psychopathological symptomatology on the SCL-90-R and poorer sleep quality on the PSQI compared to controls (
conclusionsThese findings suggest that pain intensity is not only a key physical symptom, but also a relevant factor in understanding the broader psychological vulnerability in patients with CPMP. The present study contributes to a deeper understanding of the psychopathological and functional impact of CPMP and underscores the need for tailored psychological interventions to address the comorbid symptoms associated with this condition.
