Pain characterization in osteosarcopenia: an exploratory study.
Article in Frontiers in rehabilitation sciences, 2025. 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
Objective: To characterize pain in terms of frequency, intensity, and correlation with nutritional status, muscle mass, and physical performance in osteosarcopenic patients. Method: We included patients affected by osteosarcopenia (OSP), according to WHO criteria and EWGSOP2 guidelines. Assessments included Bone Mineral Density, Trabecular Bone Score and Appendicular Lean Mass, Handgrip Strength, Short Physical Performance Battery, and SARC-F. Pain was investigated by the Brief Pain Inventory, quality of life by the EuroQol-5D-3L, the nutritional status by the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form, and the level of physical activity by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Results: We included 42 OSP patients with a mean age of 69.3 ± 11.3 years. Pain frequency was 78.6%. Pain severity was inversely correlated with lean mass, nutritional status, and physical performance. Pain interference correlated with impaired motor skills, balance and gait speed, and poor quality of life. Conclusion: Pain is highly frequent and moderately correlated in individuals with OSP highlighting the need for integrated interventions focused on muscle health to improve quality of life and reduce fall and fracture risks.
