Pain knowledge and personal experiences can influence clinical pain management attitudes: a cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundPain management is one of the important issues of health care since it affects the individual physically, mentally and socially by hindering daily activities and it is affected by individual characteristics. To investigate the association of nursing students'pain experiences and knowledge levels with their clinical pain management attitudes.
methodsThis descriptive cross-sectional study included 245 nursing students. Research data were collected between February and June 2022 in the nursing department of the State University Health Science Faculty in Central Anatolia/Türkiye. Data were collected using a questionnaire form that comprised three sections, 'Demographic and pain characteristics of students,' 'Pain knowledge of students,' and 'Clinical pain management attitudes.'
resultsThe mean age of students was 20.6 ± 1.61 years, 65.7% of students were female and 58.8% resided in student dormitories. In general, students achieved a poor score (7.72 ± 3.01) on the pain knowledge test and an quite good score (21.55 ± 2.82) on the clinical pain management attitudes test. The results showed a positive and moderately significant relationship between students'socio-demographic and pain experiences and their knowledge and attitude scores. Female gender (knowledge:7.90 ± 3.01/attitude:21.85 ± 2.66), persistent pain at certain intervals (knowledge:8.06 ± 2.78/attitude:22.09 ± 2.34) and a family history of chronic disease (knowledge:7.80 ± 2.96) were associated with higher knowledge and attitude mean scores.
conclusionsExperiencing pain at regular intervals, not wanting to perform activities requiring physical strength when in pain, and having family members treated for pain and chronic diseases positively influenced students' pain knowledge and clinical pain management attitude scores, particularly among females. Furthermore, the knowledge scores increased for students who experienced pain due to chronic conditions and have experienced pain for longer periods and those who used pharmacological methods to manage pain. Attitude scores also increased for students who experienced pain due to stress, measured pain intensity, and used non-pharmacological methods to manage pain.
