[Fibromyalgia syndrome: A disease of the small nerve fibers?].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Rheumatologie, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is characterized by chronic widespread pain and additional associated symptoms, such as fatigue, sleep disturbances and depressive moods. The pathophysiology of pain in FMS is unclear. In recent years, an involvement of the thinly myelinated A-delta and the unmyelinated C-nerve fibers has been reported in FMS patients. Independent research groups published consistent objective and multidimensional findings of damage to these small nerve fibers, such as disturbances of fiber function, electrical properties and morphological changes. All these alterations are not specific for FMS; however, they were described for the first time in subgroups of FMS patients. While the reasons for this small fiber pathology and its contribution to FMS pain are still unclear, a new research field has now been opened that will focus on uncovering the underlying pathophysiology. This review article summarizes these new findings and discusses the significance for the understanding of FMS.
