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

Objectives: This study aims to determine the Turkish validity and reliability of the Composite Autonomic Symptom Score (COMPASS-31) in patients with fibromyalgia. Patients and methods: The study included 117 patients (113 females, 4 males; mean age: 43.0±11.0 years; range, 20 to 61 years) diagnosed with fibromyalgia between November 2021 and February 2023. The COMPASS-31, Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR), and the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) were used to collect data. The reliability of the scale was tested with internal consistency and test-retest reliability, and the validity was determined with construct validity. For test-retest reliability, 31 individuals (27 females, 4 males; mean age: 42.0±10.0 years; range, 21 to 60 years) were reassessed after one week. To establish the construct validity of COMPASS-31, its correlation with FIQR and SF-36 was assessed. Results: Cronbach's alpha value was 0.912, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.838, indicating high reliability and internal consistency. According to the construct validity analysis, COMPASS-31 showed a good positive correlation with FIQR (r=0.451, p<0.001), and good negative correlations were observed between COMPASS-31 and vitality, mental health, and general health subscales of SF-36 (r=-0.402, p>0.001; r=-0.404, p<0.001; r=-0.455, p<0.001). Conclusion: The Turkish version of the COMPASS-31 is valid and reliable to assess autonomic symptoms in patients with fibromyalgia.
