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
objectiveThis study aimed to identify distinct psychological profiles among individuals with chronic pain in Iran using latent profile analysis (LPA) and to examine the role of psychological, personality, and religious characteristics in the experience and management of chronic pain.
methodsThe study population consisted of male and female patients with chronic pain in Tehran Province in 2024. A total of 541 patients with chronic pain (307 females and 234 males) were selected through convenience sampling based on the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection involved using questionnaires on demographic characteristics, grading the severity of chronic pain, temperament and character, post-traumatic stress, learned helplessness, alexithymia, depression, anxiety and stress, pain catastrophizing, and religious orientation. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 27 and R Version 4.4.1.
resultsThree latent profiles of Iranian adults with chronic pain were identified. Profile 1 (n = 257), moderate pain intensity/psychologically vulnerable, showed elevated psychological distress, catastrophizing, helplessness, and lower religious orientation. Profile 2 (n = 204), low pain intensity/balanced and religious, demonstrated the lowest levels of pain and psychological difficulties alongside higher religious orientation and character scores. Profile 3 (n = 80), high pain intensity/relatively resilient, reported the highest pain intensity but comparatively moderate psychological difficulties, suggesting greater resilience despite severe pain.
conclusionThe results highlight that psychological, personality, and religious characteristics play a significant role in the experience and management of chronic pain. These findings could help in developing personalized treatment strategies and improving the mental health and quality of life of patients.
