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

The aim of this study is to define absolute and relative reliability of spectral indices of cardiovascular autonomic control in the supine position in women with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Twenty-three women with FMS (age 48 ± 7 years) took part in the study. ECG, finger blood pressure, and respiration were continuously recorded in all participants at rest in baseline 1 (BL1) and after 15 days from BL1 (BL2). The power spectrum analysis provided two oscillatory components: low frequency (LF, 0.04-0.15 Hz) and high frequency (HF, 0.15-0.4 Hz) from the heart period (HP) variability and the LF oscillatory component from SAP variability (LFSAP). Absolute and relative reliability were rated by 95 % of the limit of random variation and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), respectively. No significant differences were observed between BL1 and BL2 for the spectral indices of HP and SAP variabilities. The 95 % limit of the random variation of these indices indicated that the values of repeated measurements were between 22 % higher and 0.2 % lower (more reliable parameter; average of HP variability) and 912.9 % higher and 0.2 % lower (less reliable parameter; LFSAP) than BL1. Conversely, the index of relative reliability (ICC) ranged from 0.23 to 0.70 indicating a good reliability. The spectral indices of cardiovascular autonomic control in women with FMS seem to present good relative reliability. Therefore, these indices can be useful as parameters to quantify if a variation was consistent and accurate in the retest besides adding crucial information for clinical research and clinical evaluation of FMS patients.
