Trial reportHeart & lung : the journal of critical care
A secondary analysis of how changes in pain interference relate to changes in health-related quality of life and physical function in heart failure.
Trial report in Heart & lung : the journal of critical care. 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
backgroundHigh pain interference is common in heart failure (HF), yet its longitudinal relationship with changing physical function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) remains unclear.
objectivesEvaluate the relationship between changes in pain interference with changes in: 1) physical function; and 2) HRQoL.
methodsIn this secondary analysis, data were used from the MEMOIR-HF trial, involving 240 participants assessed at baseline, and at 10 weeks, 4 months, and 8 months after baseline. Pain interference was measured using the Health Utilities Index Mark-3, physical function with the Timed Up and Go test, and HRQoL with the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire. Zero-order correlations and linear mixed models were conducted to evaluate the relationship between changes in pain interference with changes in physical function and HRQoL, adjusting for age, gender, race, intervention group, body mass index, HF severity, cardiovascular comorbidities, depression, and sleep.
resultsMean age was 66.59 (SD 11.84) years. Gender was 44.6% men, 55.4% women. Self-reported race was 85.0% White, 13.8% Black, and 1.2% Other. From baseline to 8 months, improvements in pain interference were significantly correlated with an improvement with both physical function and HRQoL. In linear mixed models, improvements in pain interference were associated with improvements in both physical function (F = 0.33, p =.038) and HRQoL (F = 1.62, p =.003).
conclusionsFindings supported a relationship between changes in pain interference with changes in physical function and HRQoL in HF. Further research is needed with clearly defined chronic pain and more robust pain interference measures.
