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.

2 · The registry

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

Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a chronic, broad, diffuse, and non-inflammatory musculoskeletal condition. Several studies were conducted on the effects of physical activity (PA) and strategies to promote it in people with FMS. The resulting scoping review will provide an analysis of the strategies being researched and executed. This study outlines the protocol for a scoping review to collect, analyse and compile the promotion strategies for PA in FMS. The proposed protocol will be guided by Arksey and O'Malley's framework and advanced methodology study by Levac et al. The search method will comprise of terms pertaining to FMS, PA, and its promotion. To ascertain relevant studies, predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria will be used. Studies included must be performed on FMS patients with PA as the intervention with an outcome related to quality of life, pain, and fatigue. Data extraction of the included studies will be done through three investigators using Rayyan software. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) will be used to describe the study.
