1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

There is a significant need for culturally appropriate psychological treatments for chronic pain among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) peoples. This study used Indigenous community-based participatory research methods with the Portland Area Indian Health Services-Yakama Service Unit (YSU) to gather information needed for developing culturally adapted psychological treatments for AI/AN individuals with chronic pain. This study included remote semi-structured focus groups with 16 AI/AN individuals with chronic pain to identify pain treatment preferences (Aim 1) and priorities for pain treatment outcome domains (Aim 2). Thematic analyses were conducted with Atlas.ti (version 23.2.1). Results indicated a high interest in psychological interventions and concern that referral to psychological treatment meant that pain is "not real." Pain intensity and pain interference were identified as the most important outcome domains. To measure pain intensity, the 0 to 10 Numerical Rating Scale was most preferred. The findings support the potential utility of culturally adapted psychological treatments for chronic pain for AI/AN individuals and provided information regarding the adaptations that would be most useful.
