Effectiveness of a multicomponent treatment versus conventional treatment in patients with fibromyalgia: Study protocol.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain and multiple symptoms. It is a common clinical condition whose etiology is unclear. Currently, there is no gold standard treatment for FM. Management of this condition is therefore aimed at reducing symptoms and maintaining the individual's ability to function optimally. Based on the principal symptoms and characteristics of individuals with FM, we hypothesized that the implementation of a multicomponent treatment (with physical exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy adding to a graded motor imagery program, and therapeutic neuroscience education) would be more effective than conventional treatment in women with FM. This paper describes the rationale and methods of study intended to test the effectiveness of multicomponent treatment versus conventional treatment in patients with FM. METHOD/
designFifty-six female individuals between 18 and 65 years of age, who were referred to the physical therapy department of the Rehabilitar Center in Chile, will be randomized into two treatment arms. The intervention group will receive a multicomponent treatment program for duration of 12 weeks. The control group will receive a conventional treatment for this condition for 12 weeks. The primary outcome measure will be the pain intensity score, measured by the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), and the secondary outcomes will be the FM Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), and affective components of pain, such as catastrophizing using the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), fear of movement using the Tampa Scale Kinesiophobia (TSK), and sleep quality as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). DISCUSSION: This paper reports the design of a randomized clinical trial aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the multicomponent treatment versus conventional treatment in women with FM.
