[Use of resources and costs profile in patients with fibromyalgia or generalized anxiety disorder in primary care settings].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
objectiveTo determine the use of services and costs in patients with Fibromyalgia (FM) or Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) followed up in Primary Care (PC).
designA retrospective multicenter population-based study.
settingFive primary care clinics managed by Badalona Health Service.
participantsPatients over 18 years seen in the 5 PC centers during the year 2006. Patients with and without GAD/FM were compared. MEASUREMENTS: Main outcomes measures were general, case/co-morbidity, health care use and primary care cost (visits, diagnostic/therapeutic tests and drugs). STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: logistic regression and ANCOVA (P<.05).
resultsThere was a total of 63,349 patients, 1.4% (95% CI, 0.6%-2.2%) had a diagnosis of FM, and 5.3% (95% CI, 4.5%-6.1%) GAD. The average episodes/year and visits /year was higher in FM group compared to GAD group, with a marked difference observed vs. the reference group (8.3 vs. 7.2 and 4.6 episodes/year; and 12.9 vs. 12.1 and 7.4 visits/year; P <.001). FM was shown to be related to female gender (odds ratio [OR] = 16.8), dyslipidemia (OR = 1.5), and depressive syndrome (OR = 3.9) (P <.001 in all cases). GAD was related to age (OR = 1.1), female gender (OR = 2.2), high blood pressure (OR = 1.3), dyslipidemia (OR=1.2), smoking (OR = 1.4), depressive syndrome (OR = 1.2), and cardiovascular events (OR = 1.3) (P<.02 in all cases). After adjusting for age, gender and co-morbidities, mean annual direct ambulatory cost was 555.58 Euro for the reference group, 817.37 Euro for GAD, and 908.67 Euro for FM (P<.001).
conclusionsCompared with reference group, a considerable use of health resources and costs was observed in patients with FM or TAG in medical practice in PC settings.
