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

purposeWe studied muscle and brain oxygenation during submaximal and peak exercise in patients with fibromyalgia (FM), a condition characterized by pain and fatigue, compared with age-matched healthy controls (CON).

methodsThe participants (FM, n = 16; CON, n = 17) undertook a step incremental cycle spiroergometry until exhaustion. Changes in oxyhemoglobin (O

resultsNo significant between-group differences emerged in leg or arm oxygenation. Q̇

conclusionLeg oxygenation or peak exercise cerebral deoxygenation in FM do not differ from controls. Q̇
