Type D personality and self-esteem in patients with fibromyalgia: a cross-sectional case-control study.

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
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex disease related to several factors. Psychosocial elements, such as type D personality and low level of self-esteem, might increase disease burden. The current study aimed to investigate type D personality and self-esteem in patients with FM. Female patients with FM and age-matched, healthy controls were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Type D personality was evaluated using the type D scale (DS-14). The Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSES) was used to assess self-esteem and psychosomatic symptoms. Type D personality was observed in 58.6% of the patients (n = 70) and in 21.7% of the controls (n = 60) (p < 0.001). When compared to patients with non-type D personality, those with type D personality revealed lower self-esteem and poorer health status (p < 0.05 for both), and higher anxiety and depression scores (p < 0.001 for both). In binary logistic regression analysis, the odds of FM were 3.6 times higher (OR = 3.653, 95% CI 1.547-8.625) for patients with type D personality, after adjusting for age and education level. In addition, depression (OR= 1.178, Cl 95% 1.055 - 1.316) and lower education level (OR= 0.818, Cl 95% 0.682 - 0.982) were significantly related to type D personality in FM. Type D personality is closely associated with FM. Type D personality is more common in female patients with FM when compared to healthy women. Depression and lower education level are potential confounders of type D personality in FM.
