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

This study aimed to examine the extent to which illness beliefs, coping styles, pain acceptance, pain catastrophizing, and psychological distress mediate the relationship between fibromyalgia symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in a female cohort diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (n = 151). Measures used included the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, Carver Brief COPE scale, Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire Revised, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, Brief Illness Perceptions Questionnaire, Depression and Anxiety Stress Scales, and European Health Interview Survey Quality of Life 8-item Index. Using structural equation modelling, the final model indicated that fibromyalgia symptom severity had a significant direct influence on illness perceptions and psychological distress. In turn, illness perceptions had a significant direct influence on maladaptive coping, pain catastrophizing, pain acceptance, and QoL. Pain catastrophizing and maladaptive coping influenced psychological distress, and in turn distress impacted QoL. Acceptance of pain was found to be influenced by maladaptive coping and in turn acceptance of pain influenced QoL.
