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

backgroundFibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a complex disorder characterized by chronic widespread pain (CWP), multiple areas of tenderness, sleep disturbance, fatigue, and mood or cognitive dysfunction. Myotonia congenita (MC) is an inherited myopathic disorder that is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the skeletal muscle chloride channel, which can infrequently manifest as generalized muscle cramps or myalgia. CASE REPORT: The first case was a 33-year-old woman who complained of CWP and chronic headache occurring during pregnancy, and the second case was a 37-year-old man with CWP and depression who suffered from cold-induced muscle cramps. These two patients were initially diagnosed with FMS by rheumatologists, based on CWP of longer than 3 months duration and mechanical tenderness in specific body regions. However, these two FMS patients were subsequently also diagnosed with MC.

conclusionsThese two cases are the first report of an overlap of CWP between FMS and MC.
