What Factors Are Associated With Patients Being Active Partners in the Management Fibromyalgia? A Mixed Methods Systematic Review Protocol.
Article in Musculoskeletal care, 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
backgroundFibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is characterised by widespread and persistent pain, intrusive fatigue and cognitive issues, affecting approximately 5.4% of the UK population. Non-pharmacological therapies and education are current management recommendations, but these approaches rely on patients having an active role in their healthcare management. It is therefore important to identify the factors associated with FMS patients being active partners, as this could influence person-centred care provision.
aimThe aim of this study is to explore the factors associated with patients being an active partner in the management of FMS.
methodsThis is a protocol for mixed methods systematic literature review with convergent integrated approach in accordance with JBI methodology. The databases AMED, MEDLINE, PsychINFO and CINAHL will be searched via EBSCOhost. Screening and selection will be conducted by two reviewers. Primary qualitative, observational and experimental studies from July 2005 to July 2024 will be included. Critical appraisal of eligible studies will be conducted using appropriate JBI tools. Data will be extracted, transformed where necessary and synthesised without meta-analysis. DISCUSSION: This mixed methods systematic review will provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors associated with patients being active partners, offering not only the 'what' but also the 'why' behind patients taking an active role in their healthcare. This will help guide future research and practice in supporting patients to be active partners in FMS management.
trial registrationThis systematic review has been registered with PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42024575159).
