Synthesis in Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. It is linked to trial NCT04836325 (Effect of Transcranial Static Magnetic Field Stimulation Over the Primary Motor Cortex in Fibromyalgia Syndrome), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundThe regular update of the guidelines on fibromyalgia syndrome, AWMF number 145/004, was scheduled for April 2017.

methodsThe guidelines were developed by 13 scientific societies and 2 patient self-help organizations coordinated by the German Pain Society. Working groups (n =8) with a total of 42 members were formed balanced with respect to gender, medical expertise, position in the medical or scientific hierarchy and potential conflicts of interest. A systematic search of the literature from December 2010 to May 2016 was performed in the Cochrane library, MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Scopus databases. Levels of evidence were assigned according to the classification system of the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine version 2009. The strength of recommendations was achieved by multiple step formalized procedures to reach a consensus. The guidelines were reviewed and approved by the board of directors of the societies engaged in the development of the guidelines. RESULTS AND

conclusionThe clinical diagnosis of fibromyalgia syndrome can be established by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1990 classification criteria (with examination of tender points) or without the examination of tender points by the modified preliminary diagnostic ACR 2010 or 2011 criteria.
