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

objectiveTo examine the differential presentation(s) of psychological and health-related outcomes in young adults with juvenile-onset fibromyalgia (FM) with and without a history of trauma, compared to healthy controls.

methodsIn total, 110 participants (86 with juvenile-onset FM and 24 healthy controls, with a mean age of 23.4 years) completed a structured clinical interview to assess for trauma and psychological comorbidities, as well as self-report questionnaires on pain, physical functioning, and health care utilization.

resultsOf the juvenile-onset FM participants, 37% (n = 32) reported a history of trauma. Three group comparisons (i.e., juvenile-onset FM with trauma versus juvenile-onset FM with no trauma versus healthy controls) revealed that juvenile-onset FM participants significantly differed from healthy controls on all psychological and health-related outcomes. Further, although juvenile-onset FM participants with and without a history of trauma did not significantly differ on pain and physical functioning, juvenile-onset FM participants with a history of trauma were significantly more likely to have psychological comorbidities.

conclusionThis is the first controlled study to examine the differential outcomes between juvenile-onset FM participants with and without a history of trauma. Group comparisons between juvenile-onset FM participants and healthy controls were consistent with previous research. Further, our findings indicate that juvenile-onset FM participants with a history of trauma experience greater psychological, but not physical, impairment than juvenile-onset FM participants without a history of trauma.
