Guidelines on Treating Fibromyalgia With Nonpharmacological Therapies in China.
Guideline in Journal of evidence-based medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07782255 (Interdisciplinary Therapeutic Intervention for People With Persistent Pain), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.

Abstract
Fibromyalgia is a prevalent chronic condition marked by widespread pain, fatigue, and other debilitating symptoms. This guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for nonpharmacological treatments, developed by a multidisciplinary expert group, including specialists in rheumatology, rehabilitation, pain management, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and evidence-based medicine. The guideline follows the RIGHT checklist and is registered with the International Practice Guideline Registry Platform. The literature review incorporates systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to March 2023, focusing on the effects of nonpharmacological interventions on pain intensity, fatigue, sleep quality, mood, and quality of life. A total of 57 studies were included, with findings supporting acupuncture and health education as core therapies. These interventions significantly reduce pain, alleviate fatigue, and improve sleep quality, and are strongly recommended based on moderate-quality evidence. Additionally, aerobic exercise and resistance training are recommended for their proven effectiveness in reducing pain, enhancing physical function, and providing long-term benefits. Emerging therapies, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and nutritional supplements, show promise but require further research due to low-certainty evidence.
