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 a complex, heterogeneous and often disabling syndrome that seriously affects the quality of life of patients. It is characterized by chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive impairment. Its pathophysiology remains poorly understood, and conventional treatments often offer limited efficacy while carrying significant side effects, highlighting the urgent need for alternative therapeutics strategies. We report a retrospective case series evaluating a novel protocol that combines low frequency Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy, medical ozone insufflation, and targeted nutritional supplementation in three patients with refractory fibromyalgia who had previously shown inadequate response to conventional treatments. Following the intervention, patients experienced substantial pain relief and significant improvement in quality of life, which were sustained at the 30-day follow-up assessment. These findings suggest that the combination of PEMF and ozone therapy may induce durable physiological benefits, presenting a promising complementary strategy for managing refractory fibromyalgia.
