Do You Feel What I Feel? Parental Perception of Pain Intensities, Level of Suffering, and Pain Impairment in Chronic Pain in Children and Adolescents.

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
introductionRatings of pain intensities, level of suffering, and impairment through pain are important factors informing physicians and pain therapists with respect to therapy choice. This study aimed to investigate the concordance of children's and their parents' ratings and the relationship of pain-related measures with psychopathological variables.
methodsChildren diagnosed with chronic pain disorders and comorbid psychiatric disorders (depression, anxiety, trauma-, and stress-related disorders according to ICD-10; N = 152, n = 103 females and n = 49 males; mean age 15.5 years, age range 11-17 years) and their parents (N = 195, n = 120 mothers/n = 75 fathers) were assessed with ratings of mean and maximum pain level. Impairment through pain and level of suffering were assessed with respective questionnaires.
resultsFathers rated maximum pain lower than their children or mothers, while mothers rated the level of the child's pain suffering higher than their children or fathers. Both mothers and fathers underestimated the medium pain level compared to the children's assessment. We found intercorrelations of pain ratings and psychopathological measures.
conclusionsDiscrepancies in pain-related ratings in children with chronic pain and mental diagnoses indicate that the full picture of children's and both parents' ratings should be considered for the adequate choice of therapeutic strategies and settings whenever possible.
