Prevalence of fibromyalgia in asthma and its impact on asthma control: a case-control study.
Article in Annals of medicine, 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
backgroundAsthma and fibromyalgia are chronic conditions that significantly impair quality of life and share common inflammatory and neurophysiological mechanisms.
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the prevalence of fibromyalgia in asthma patients and examine its impact on asthma control.
methodsIn this case-control study, 120 patients diagnosed with asthma and 120 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were enrolled. Fibromyalgia was diagnosed based on the 2016 revised ACR criteria using the Widespread Pain Index (WPI) and Symptom Severity Scale (SSS). Asthma control was assessed using the Asthma Control Test (ACT). The relationship between fibromyalgia and asthma control was analyzed using independent t-tests, chi-square tests, logistic regression, and ROC analysis.
resultsThe prevalence of fibromyalgia in the asthma group was 16.7% compared to 3.3% in controls (
conclusionFibromyalgia is a common comorbidity in asthma patients and may adversely affect perceived asthma control. However, the ACT score alone may not be a reliable indicator of fibromyalgia presence, suggesting the need for multidimensional assessment tools in routine asthma care.
