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
Objective: The current cross-sectional study retrospectively investigated associations between COVID-19-related factors and subsequent substance use in adolescents with chronic pain. Methods: A total of 243 adolescents with diagnosed pain disorders were retrospectively surveyed from September 2021 to May 2024. Descriptive statistics summarized past-month and past-year substance use; COVID-19 exposures, impact, and distress; mental health; and pain-related indicators. Logistic regressions estimated the odds of substance use based on COVID-19 exposures, impact, and distress, controlling for demographics, mental health, and pain. Results: Of the 243 adolescents ( Discussion: The social impact of COVID-19 uniquely predicted subsequent substance use, over and above mental and physical health symptoms in adolescents with chronic pain. Incorporating socially focused interventions into multidisciplinary pain treatment and prevention efforts may better support the health and wellness of youth with chronic pain.
