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

backgroundPain in children is influenced by multiple factors, including parents and teachers, requiring better pain education programs and methods.

objectiveThis study aimed to explore pain knowledge, beliefs, key educational content, and preferred methods for learning about pain among children, adolescents, parents, and teachers.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey with children aged 8-18 years, parents, and teachers. Children's pain knowledge was measured via the Conceptualisation of Pain Questionnaire (COPAQ), whereas parents' and teachers' pain knowledge was measured via the Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire (NPQ). We also evaluated the importance of receiving pain-related information and gathered participants' preferences regarding pain-related content and delivery methods.

resultsWe recruited 189 children (mean age = 12), their parents (mean age = 43), and 63 teachers (mean age = 40). Children had a mean pain knowledge score of 8/15 (SD=2.1; 95% CI 7.6 to 8.2) on the COPAQ, whereas parents and teachers had scores of 8/12 (SD=3.6; 95% CI 7.2 to 8.2) and 7/12 (SD=1.5; 95% CI 6.3 to 7.1), respectively, as assessed by the NPQ. Nearly 90% of participants considered learning about pain "moderately" or "extremely" important, with the greatest interest in pain treatments, causes, and types. Participants preferred receiving information through online videos featuring healthcare professionals.

conclusionOur study shows that children and adults value learning about pain and prefer online and visual teaching methods, emphasising the need for tailored, accessible and interactive educational interventions. This presents an opportunity to design programs aligned with their learning preferences to enhance future outcomes.
