Pregnancy and Fibromyalgia and their Interrelationships: A Systematic Review.
Article in Mediterranean journal of rheumatology, 2025. 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
Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) occurs frequently in women of childbearing age. These patients may become pregnant, and it is essential to know the influence of pregnancy on this disease. Aim: To review the studies of pregnancy in FM. Methods: To systematically search for articles on pregnancy and FM between 1966 and April 2024. No language limitation was used. Scielo, PubMed, and Embase databases were analysed. Results: Twelve articles with 8,833 patients were found. Patients' ages varied from > 18 to 65 years old. FM patients had a lower number of children and more nulliparity than controls. Studies that analysed FM symptoms during pregnancy found symptom worsening, mainly pain, anxiety, depression, and gestational diabetes, were found to be more common than in controls in 2 papers. Regarding neonatal outcomes, only four studies evaluated these data: two of them found that FM had no adverse effect on the neonate's health. In contrast, the other two found that these babies were more likely to be premature, to have intrauterine growth restriction, and to have low Apgar. Conclusion: This systematic review demonstrates that pregnancy in FM usually has a bad prognosis since obstetric and FM outcomes are worse during this period. Results of repercussions on the offspring are controversial.
