Is the experience of chronic pain different in frail older adults? A cross-sectional exploratory study.

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
Chronic pain is highly prevalent in frail older adults, resulting in reduced mobility and poor quality of life. However, research on the experience of chronic pain among frail older adults is scarce.To compare the experience of chronic pain among frail, prefrail, and non-frail older adults, and to identify associations involving pain measures and frailty syndrome.We conducted a cross-sectional study with older adults aged ≥ 60 years presenting chronic pain. The participants were recruited by convenience in specialized outpatient services at public hospitals. Frailty syndrome was identified through the frailty phenotype. The experience of pain was compared among the groups, and we conducted a multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for covariates.Out of the 135 participants, 36.3% were non-frail, 38.5%, prefrail, and 25.2%, frail. Frail older adults presented severe pain more frequently (
