Strategies for Implementing Nursing Activities for Chronic Pain Management in Primary Care: Integrated Findings from a Sequential Mixed-Methods Study.
Article in Canadian journal of pain = Revue canadienne de la douleur, 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: Chronic pain (CP) affects one in five Canadians, representing a major public health issue. Its economic burden is estimated between CAD $38.3-$40.4 billion annually. Despite its prevalence, integration of nursing activities in CP management within primary care remains limited, indicating a need for strategies that facilitate effective implementation. Aim: Determine implementation strategies to promote the integration of nursing activities in CP management in primary care, considering nursing practice realities and patient needs. Methods: A sequential explanatory mixed-methods study (QUAN→qual) was conducted in collaboration with two patient partners. A Delphi study captured prioritized nursing activities for CP management, while qualitative focus groups explored nurses' barriers and facilitators in CP management. Findings were integrated through a joint display comparing quantitative and qualitative results following Fetters' (2019) recommendations, in order to identify implementation strategies. Results: Findings indicated a substantial gap between prioritized nursing activities for CP management and current practice, highlighting that nursing involvement remains at an early stage of implementation. Two key orientations emerge: (1) Strengthening nurses' capacities to integrate CP-related activities by providing appropriate tools, training, and clinical guidance, (2) Mobilizing other healthcare system interest-holders (patients living with CP, healthcare providers, and managers) to support adoption of new nursing activities and create an environment conducive to change. Conclusion: The study underscores the importance of implementation strategies to foster the adoption of nursing activities in CP management. These strategies provide an implementation blueprint for maximizing nurses' contribution to CP management in primary care through full deployment of their competencies.
