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

Fibromyalgia is one of the most prevalent rheumatologic conditions, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. It is characterized by widespread chronic pain accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive impairments. In Brazil, fibromyalgia is the second most common rheumatologic disorder, with a reported prevalence ranging from 2.5% to 5.5%, leading to a substantial economic burden due to high direct and indirect healthcare costs. The pathophysiology of fibromyalgia involves alterations in central pain processing, often in conjunction with comorbidities such as depression, anxiety, and irritable bowel syndrome, which exacerbate symptom severity and negatively impact patients’ quality of life. Effective management requires a structured, interdisciplinary approach that emphasizes treatment adherence and patient education. This guidelines from the Brazilian Society of Rheumatology (SBR) provide an updated review of the 2010 recommendations, incorporating recent evidence to refine both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic strategies, and are presented in two separate articles, covering aspects of patient monitoring, non-pharmacological interventions, and pharmacological treatments. This approach underscores commitment to comprehensive, evidence-based, and patient-centered care. This first article focuses on the evaluation of monitoring strategies and non-pharmacological interventions for managing fibromyalgia.Fibromyalgia is one of the most prevalent rheumatologic conditions, affecting millions of individuals worldwide.
