Evaluation of the Cardiac Conduction System in Fibromyalgia Patients With Complaints of Palpitations.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Objective This study aimed to investigate the influence of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) on the cardiac conduction system and assess patients' palpitation complaints using 24-h ambulatory ECG (Holter {Maynard, MA: Northeast Monitoring, Inc.}) monitoring. Methods Ninety patients with FMS and 70 healthy controls were included in this research. ECG was performed on all participants, and ECG parameters were calculated. Holter monitoring was conducted, and the recordings were analyzed. The results of time-domain heart rate variability (HRV) were evaluated. Results The patient group's mean age was 38.3±6.3 years. There were no statistically significant differences in demographic or laboratory parameters across the groups (p>0.05). The findings of a 24-h Holter ECG recording did not vary significantly between the groups (p=0.182). In the study group, the values for the standard deviation of R-R intervals (SDNN), low frequency (LF), and low/high frequency (LF/HF), which are known as HRV indicators, were substantially different between the two groups (p<0.05). Conclusions The study indicated that the risk of arrhythmias did not increase even though FM patients complained of palpitations.
