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

This article elucidates changes in the recommended diagnostics and therapy of fibromyalgia (FM). The recommendations from major internationally recognized guidelines are compared with the newest recommendations of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) that in contrast to the guidelines surprisingly recommend physical exercise after patient education for all FM patients. The differences between the guidelines and the EULAR recommendations are critically discussed in particular because although the literature referred to in the guidelines was similar, the analysis led to different recommendations. Finally, we try to predict how patients will be treated 10 years from now, for which knowledge from the guidelines and the initial approaches that diagnosed heterogeneity in FM are included. Empirically based questions will drive mechanism-based approaches as opposed to simply reacting to symptoms, in order to meet the challenge of an individual, mechanism-oriented treatment.
