Pain Science Education for People With Persistent Pain on NHS Waiting Lists: A Mixed Methods Study.
Observational study in Pain research & management, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Persistent pain is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Long waiting times can adversely affect outcomes and impede effective management; thus, waiting list-targeted interventions may be beneficial. Objective: To explore the perceptions of people with persistent pain receiving pain science education (PSE) online, en masse, whilst on an NHS waiting list. Methods: A mixed-methods observational study of people with persistent pain on NHS waiting lists was undertaken. PSE-informed webinars were delivered by Results: Participants' ( Conclusion: Participants on NHS waiting lists with persistent pain predominantly found PSE webinars helpful. It shifted their understanding of pain, and they intended to undertake self-management activities in line with evidence-based care. Appropriately powered RCTs are warranted to robustly investigate the effectiveness of en masse PSE for patients awaiting care.
