Music-based interventions for chronic pain management.
Synthesis in The Cochrane database of systematic reviews, 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
objectivesThis is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: Primary objective To evaluate the benefits and harms of music-based interventions (MBIs) for chronic pain management in adults with pain lasting more than 12 weeks, comparing MBIs with the following comparators: active care, placebo, or no treatment/waitlist control. Specifically, we aim to assess the effects of MBIs on critical outcomes, such as pain intensity, pain-related distress, and pain interference with daily functioning. Secondary objectives To evaluate the effects of MBIs on important outcomes, including functioning and disability, psychological outcomes (e.g. depression, anxiety, pain catastrophising, kinesiophobia (fear of movement due to pain), self-efficacy, perceived social support, wellbeing), health-related quality of life, and sleep quality To identify and report any adverse effects associated with MBIs To examine whether intervention effects differ across prespecified subgroups (i.e. pain aetiology, type of engagement, intervention duration), using subgroup analyses where sufficient data are available.
