[Validation of subjective complaints: differential diagnosis of "healthy suffering" using fatigue as an example].
Review in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Subjective complaints are of great importance in medicine. They have an impact on the diagnosis of illnesses, the assessment of illness severity, and treatment selection. There are no objective criteria for such symptoms, and clinicians have to rely on the report of patients only. Examples are complaints about pain, cardiac insufficiency, mood, or fatigue. There are many possibilities for distorted reports. Clinicians must therefore clarify what is meant and validate patient reports. A discrimination must be made between signs of illness and "healthy suffering," to avoid medicalization of daily nuisances and to avoid misdiagnoses and inadequate treatments. Diagnostic algorithms for healthy suffering are described, as this diagnosis is of importance in medicine. This is outlined using the example of fatigue.
