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

introductionLong-lasting pain in adolescents may affect education, social interactions, and is associated with mental health challenges. Current interventions are often suboptimal due to insufficient understanding of the challenges faced by adolescents with long-lasting pain and those who support them. Understanding the management challenges experienced by adolescents with long-lasting pain, along with those faced by their parents, education professionals, and healthcare professionals (HCPs), is crucial for informing person-centered interventions and improving care and outcomes.

objectivesThis study aimed to gather insights and visions from adolescents with long-lasting pain, along with their parents, HCPs, and teachers, to develop a person-centered intervention for managing pain.

methodsWe used a qualitative Action Research approach, employing three workshops with 1) adolescents with long-lasting pain, 2) HCPs and teachers, and 3) parents. Workshops incorporated case vignettes and design-card exercises to foster dialogue, knowledge construction and articulation of insights and visions to inform intervention design. Data were collected through audio recordings, participant artifacts, and field notes, then analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis and matrix synthesis to create a conceptual model highlighting tension points for future interventions.

resultsIn three separate workshops, 13 adolescents with long-lasting pain, 16 HCPs and teachers (four physiotherapists, four senior high school teachers, three psychologists, three school health nurses, and two General Practitioners), and four parents participated. Adolescents described pain's pervasive impact on their education, social lives, and self-identity. Barriers to improvement included limited coordination between healthcare and school, as well as a lack of communication. The school setting and school health services were identified as an ideal setting for interventions. Key visions for interventions included early holistic assessments, enhanced interdisciplinary collaboration with dedicated coordination roles, specialized adolescent-focused expertise, and the use of digital tools for personalized management.

conclusionThis study brought new insights into the development of a person-centered intervention for adolescents with long-lasting pain, highlighting the impact of pain on those affected and barriers to optimal care. It emphasized the need for including education professionals and school health services in interdisciplinary collaboration, holistic assessments, and improved expertise in adolescent pain management.
