The Impact of Pain Coping Strategies on Chronic Pain Among Native Americans.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 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
backgroundCompared to other U.S. racial/ethnic groups, Native Americans (NAs) have a greater likelihood of developing chronic pain. Considering this inequity, it is important to understand which coping strategies are associated with pain intensity and interference for NAs. PURPOSE: The present study explored whether three coping strategies were associated with pain intensity and interference, and whether they moderated the impact of pain intensity on pain interference.
methodsNAs with chronic pain (N = 103) completed surveys that assessed past week average pain intensity (11-point numerical rating scale), past week pain interference (Brief Pain Inventory, extended version), and task persistence, resting, and coping self-statements (Chronic Pain Coping Inventory). Regression analyses were used to predict pain intensity and interference from coping strategies, after controlling for age, sex, education, and income.
resultsGreater use of coping self-statements (p=.013) and lower income (p=.023) were associated with higher pain intensity. Higher pain intensity (p<.001), greater use of coping-self statements (p=.031), and lower task persistence (p=.003) were associated with more pain interference. No strategy moderated the relationship between pain intensity and pain interference (ps > 0.05).
conclusionsThese results suggest task persistence may help mitigate the impact of NA chronic pain, regardless of experienced pain intensity. By contrast, coping self-statements were not associated with chronic pain consequences.
