[Anger-related interventions for treatment of chronic pain : A systematic review].
Synthesis in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
THEORETICAL
backgroundNegatively experienced emotions, especially anger, influence pain-related variables and impair the quality of life. Although a variety of treatment approaches exist there is still no comprehensive overview of anger-related interventions for chronic pain and which effects with respect to anger-specific and pain-specific variables can be detected.
methodsTo answer these questions, a systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. The review included a comprehensive literature search that identified and analyzed relevant studies on anger-related interventions for primary chronic pain. These studies were compared with respect to the interventions used, the variables studied and the results obtained.
resultsIn the extracted studies (n = 5) significant positive effects of specific anger-related interventions on both pain-related and anger-related variables could be demonstrated. DISCUSSION: Anger-focused treatment approaches are consequently considered a promising therapeutic option for chronic pain. To optimize their application in clinical practice further research on the effects and mechanisms of anger-related interventions is recommended.
