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

backgroundEmotional and physical abuse and neglect in childhood and adolescence [childhood maltreatments (CMs)] are considered to play a role in the etiology of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Whether the association between FMS and CMs can be explained by mediators has not been studied.

methodsCMs of consecutive FMS patients from three different clinical settings were assessed by the German version of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. Clinical setting, gender, age, comorbid depression, and health care use were tested for mediators.

resultsOf 328 patients (86% women, mean age 50 years), 293 were analyzed; 16% of the patients reported severe emotional, 9% severe physical, and 11% severe sexual abuse and 25% severe emotional and 13% severe physical neglect during childhood. The frequency of CMs was not associated with setting, gender, age, and health care use. FMS patients with a comorbid depression more frequently reported physical abuse (p=0.01) and emotional abuse (p=0.001), as well as emotional neglect (p=0.0008) and physical neglect (p=0.001) compared with FMS patients without a comorbid depression. DISCUSSION: Comorbid depression is a mediator of the association between CMs and FMS.

conclusionProspective population-based studies controlling for depression are necessary to determine the role of CMs in the etiology of FMS.
