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.

Abstract

objectiveWe investigated the impact of favorite music on pain processing among individuals with fibromyalgia. We also examined differences in pain processing between individuals with fibromyalgia and healthy controls (HC) while listening to favorite music and explored whether psychosocial factors contributed to these differences.

methodsIndividuals with fibromyalgia and HC completed baseline psychosocial questionnaires and then underwent quantitative sensory testing (QST) during 3 randomized music conditions (meditative music, favorite music, white noise). Among individuals with fibromyalgia, Friedman tests were used to investigate differences in QST across conditions. Analyses of Covariance were used to examine group (HC vs fibromyalgia) differences in QST during favorite music. Correlations were conducted to explore associations of baseline psychosocial factors with QST during favorite music. Mediation analyses were conducted to explore whether psychosocial factors contributed to greater pain sensitivity among individuals with fibromyalgia compared to HC during favorite music.

resultsIndividuals with fibromyalgia were less sensitive to pressure pain while listening to their favorite music compared to white noise. Compared to HC, individuals with fibromyalgia reported higher baseline negative affect and lower pain thresholds and tolerances during favorite music. Negative affect partially mediated the relationship between pain status (HC vs fibromyalgia) and pain sensitivity during favorite music.

conclusionsIndividuals with fibromyalgia were less pain sensitive while listening to favorite music than white noise, although they were more sensitive than HC. Greater negative affect endorsed by individuals with fibromyalgia contributed to their greater pain sensitivity. Future studies should explore the impact of favorite music on clinical pain. CLINICAL TRAILS REGISTRATION: This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04087564) and began on 6/13/2019.
