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
purposeTo investigate the characteristics and influencing factors of pain symptoms in ALS patients, provide references for the formulation of pain coping measures in clinical practice. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe research design was a cross-sectional study.ALS patients were investigated using scales such as the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Binary logistic regression equation and multiple linear regression equation were used to analyze the influencing factors of whether occur pain and pain degree in ALS patients.
results149 (74.1%) patients had pain symptoms, and 51 (25.4%) patients had pain as the first symptom. Patients with moderate to severe pain accounted for 60.4%. Fatigue, social support, self-efficacy, and poor sleep quality have been associated with whether occur pain in ALS patients. Personality traits, education, fatigue, social support, physical function, and self-efficacy were associated with pain levels in ALS patients.
conclusionsPain is an important indicator of functional decline, which can directly affect the rehabilitation outcome, reduce the quality of life of patients, and is crucial for predicting disease progression and optimizing end-of-life care, which should arouse the full attention of clinical medical personnel and scientific researchers. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen pain intervention in rehabilitation programs.
