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

Introduction: Around 25% of children and adolescents report chronic pain, which is often associated with a range of negative consequences. Targeted dissemination of research findings is crucial to inform patients, families, and healthcare professionals about chronic pain and its treatment. To do so, a key step is to identify the knowledge needs of the targeted audience, and to determine how to best reach them. Objective: We investigated satisfaction with current knowledge transfer concerning pediatric chronic pain and its treatment amongst adolescents with chronic pain, their parents, and healthcare professionals. Methods: Focus groups and semi-structured interviews with adolescents with chronic pain, parents of children with chronic pain, and healthcare professionals were carried out. The discussions and interviews were analyzed applying structural content analysis. Results: Three adolescents with chronic pain, four caregivers and twelve healthcare professionals from Switzerland participated in the study. Patients and caregivers highlighted barriers related to social, medical, organizational, and information-specific areas, and expressed a strong desire for more tailored and accessible support. Participants emphasized the importance of recipient-specific dissemination strategies that address both informational preferences and contextual realities. Healthcare professionals, while well-networked within Switzerland, emphasized the importance of access to pediatric research data, specifically from Swiss populations. Conclusion: Dissemination of scientific results on pediatric chronic pain to those who need it remains inadequate. The findings highlight the urgent need for pain education resources targeted to the different audiences, ensuring that affected families and healthcare providers are equipped with the information they need.
