Concordance of cortical morphological anomalies with genetic predisposition to multisite chronic pain in females.
Article in The Korean journal of pain, 2026. 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
Background: Multisite chronic pain (MCP) is a debilitating condition disproportionately affecting females, yet its underlying biological basis, particularly the connection to brain structure and the specific role of genetic factors, remains incompletely understood. Methods: This study delves into the genetic correlation between MCP in females and cerebral cortical morphology, specifically concentrating on cortical thickness (CT) and surface area (SA). Leveraging genome-wide association study (GWAS) data, the investigation establishes significant genetic correlations between female MCP and diverse cerebral cortical regions. Results: The outcomes underscored that diminished CT in the frontal pole, increased CT in the rostral middle frontal cortex, and reduced SA in the superior frontal cortex exhibited nominal associations with increased susceptibility to MCP in females ( Conclusions: This study provided exploratory evidence of potential shared genetic pathways influencing both MCP susceptibility and cerebral cortex structure. The results suggested that alterations in brain morphology in females may have a bidirectional relationship with susceptibility to chronic pain.
