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
backgroundNurses to assist patients make the best choices in challenging circumstances, counseling is crucial. Patients' health and quality of life can be enhanced by healthcare providers, particularly nurses, through counseling and educational initiatives. Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread pain that negatively impacts an individual's ability to work. People may be able to improve their physical and mental health and accept suffering with the use of nursing counseling methods.
aimThis study aimed to investigate the effect of counselling intervention on symptoms, pain acceptance, and the psychological well-being of patients with fibromyalgia.
designA quasi-experimental (study and control group pre/post-test) design included 120 patients with fibromyalgia during their follow-up visits to the outpatient rheumatology clinic at El-Demerdash Hospital affiliated with Ain Shams University Hospitals, Cairo, Egypt. TOOLS FOR DATA COLLECTION: (1) Structured Interview Questionnaire for Patients with Fibromyalgia, (2) Pain Acceptance Questionnaire, (3) Psychological well-being Questionnaire.
resultsPost intervention, there were statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of psychological well-being, pain acceptance, and symptoms (p < 0.05). Regarding the total level of pain acceptance post implementation of the counseling intervention, there was a highly statistically significant difference between the study and control groups. Post the implementation of the counseling intervention, there was a statistically significant difference in the study group's anxiety, depression, vitality, positive well-being, and general health (0.03*, 0.01**). Additionally, the study group's pain willingness and activity engagement subscales showed statistically significant differences, with a p-value of less than 0.001. Additionally, there were statistically significant differences between the groups pre and post the program's implementation in terms of psychological well-being, pain acceptance, and symptoms (p < 0.05).
conclusionsPatients with fibromyalgia under research report statistically significant improvements in their psychological well-being, pain acceptance, and symptoms when counseling interventions are used. RECOMMENDATIONS: In addition to the standard nursing care provided to patients in all fibromyalgia treatment clinics, counseling interventions must be included. Clinics must schedule counseling sessions on a monthly basis. To increase their understanding and boost their mental and physical health, it should be updated on a regular basis. More study is needed to evaluate the biopsychosocial needs of such people and treat all the fibromyalgia-related signs and symptoms. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
