Psychological distress is associated with pain and symptom severity in patients with longstanding hip and groin pain: A cross-sectional 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
Background: The primary aim was to assess psychological distress in patients with longstanding hip and groin pain (LHGP) and compare them with healthy controls. The secondary aim was to explore the association between psychological distress and symptom duration, self-reported pain and symptoms in patients with LHGP. Methods: Seventy-two patients with LHGP and sixty-three controls were included. The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) was used to assess psychological distress and the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) subscale for pain and symptoms to assess hip and groin pain and symptoms. The Mann-Whitney Results: There was no difference in psychological distress between patients with LHGP and controls (p = 0.060) on the K10 total score. More individuals were categorized as having "high or very high" psychological distress in the LHGP group (45 %) compared to the control group (26 %) (p = 0.035). There was no difference between patients with 3-12 months and >12 months symptom duration for the K10 (p = 0.232). There was a moderate association between more psychological distress and worse self-reported pain (p = 0.003) and symptoms (p < 0.001). Conclusions: In this exploratory study, no difference was observed between patients and controls on the K10 total score; however, more patients with LHGP were categorized as having high or very high levels of psychological distress compared to controls. Among patients, symptom duration did not influence psychological distress, but a moderate association was found between more distress, greater pain, and more severe symptoms.
