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.

A sample of 76 Italian women with an age range between 23 and 78 years old (mean = 50.22 ± 10.47 years) diagnosed with fibromyalgia (a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, cognitive and mood issues) was examined to identify typical characteristics of their psychological profile. All patients were administered a series of questionnaires, to assess avoidance of physical touch by others; anxiety; depression; risk of developing psychotic disorders; self-criticism and perfectionism; acceptance of chronic pain; general impact of the pathology on their lives, and the predisposition to experience positive emotional states. The scores resulting from this assessment were evaluated against the normative data. Patients with fibromyalgia showed psychological dysfunction in most of the scales administered, with a significantly higher disposition to experience compassion towards others (
