In one paragraph

Review in Primary health care research & development, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06138171 (Psychological Layers of Nociplastic Pain), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex musculoskeletal pain disorder characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and other functional symptoms. Patients with FM are frequently affected by psychiatric disorders. Clinicians typically observe certain personality characteristics or traits associated with FM, but there is still a lack of studies about personality disorders (PDs) in patients with FM. Aim of our brief review is to summarize the literature to date on prevalence of PDs in FM. We searched the PubMed electronic database for all articles up to 1 February 2017, and identified a number of reports about prevalence of PDs in patients with FM. Most of studies show that the proportion of PDs diagnosed in patients with FM appears far greater than that found in the general population. We suggest that is very useful to evaluate PDs in patients with FM systematically, in order to improve the understanding, assessment, and treatment of this clinical condition.
