[Mental disorders in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome: screening in centres of different medical specialties].
Article in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundSystematic reviews have reported a wide range of prevalence rates for depressive, anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD) in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) which have been partially explained by setting differences. No data are currently available on the prevalence of potential mental disorders depending on the medical specialty in Germany. MATERIAL AND
methodsAll consecutive FMS patients of 8 study centres (3 rheumatology/orthopaedic surgery, 3 psychosomatic/pain medicine, 2 physical/integrative medicine) were assessed from February 1 to July 31, 2012 with standardised questionnaires. Patients with FMS diagnosed by a study physician were included. Non-German speaking and mentally retarded patients were excluded. The German version of the Patient Health Questionnaire 4 was used to screen for potential depressive and anxiety disorders. Severe life events were assessed by the trauma list of the Munich Composite International Diagnostic Interview and symptom criteria of PTSD of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (DSM-IV) using the Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale.
resultsOf 538 patients, 396 patients (93.9 % women, mean age 52.3 years, mean duration since chronic widespread pain 12.8 years, mean duration since FMS diagnosis 4.5 years) were analysed. In all, 65.7 % of patients met the criteria of a potential depressive disorder, 67.9 % of a potential anxiety disorder and 45.5 % of a potential PTSD. Potential depressive disorders were more frequent in the psychosomatic/pain medicine setting than in the rheumatology setting.
conclusionPotential mental disorders were frequent in FMS patients regardless of the medical specialty. All FMS patients of all types of clinical settings should be screened for mental disorders.
