1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo assess satisfaction and pain-related knowledge levels following an inclusive Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) programme in improving pain-related knowledge and perceived satisfaction among adolescents with and without intellectual disabilities, and to assess its applicability in digital health education settings. Methods: A multicentre, cross-sectional study was conducted in 15 public schools. A total of 373 students (5th-6th grade), including those with intellectual disabilities, participated in a hybrid-format PNE programme delivered in two 90-minute sessions. Satisfaction and knowledge were assessed using an adapted, easy-to-read questionnaire, with exploratory factor analysis identifying three core domains: activity format, teacher evaluation, and SDG-related training. Results: Overall satisfaction and knowledge gains were high across all participants. No significant differences were found between students with and without intellectual disabilities or between urban and rural schools in satisfaction and teacher evaluation. However, rural students reported greater awareness of the SDG-related content (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The adapted PNE programme was well-received and associated with high levels of pain-related knowledge across diverse educational contexts. Its inclusive and hybrid design supports its potential scalability through digital health strategies, promoting equity in pain education.
