The role of metacognition in fibromyalgia impact and psychological distress: a cross-sectional study in Turkish women with fibromyalgia.

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
We examined whether metacognitive beliefs were associated with fibromyalgia impact and compared metacognitive beliefs between patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) and matched healthy controls. We hypothesized that Metacognitions Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30) scores would be higher in FMS and would show a significant association with Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) total scores. This cross-sectional study included 56 women with FMS and 69 healthy women controls who were comparable in age and education level. Participants completed MCQ-30, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and FIQR. Group differences were evaluated using independent-samples t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests, depending on distributional characteristics. Associations between variables were examined using Pearson's correlations or Spearman's rank correlations. The association between MCQ-30 total scores and FIQR total scores was tested using simple linear regression. Analytical assumptions were evaluated, and the robustness of the findings was examined using Huber M-regression. Compared with controls, the FMS group had higher scores on MCQ-30 Cognitive Confidence, Uncontrollability/Danger, Cognitive Self-Consciousness, Need to Control Thoughts, and MCQ-30 total scores (t = 3.610-4.805, all p < .001; d = 0.66-0.88). The FMS group also had higher scores across all FIQR indices (p values ranging from .020 to < .001; d = 0.42-2.60). In the patient group, FIQR total scores were positively associated with MCQ-30 total scores (r = .395, p < .01). MCQ-30 total scores were significantly associated with FIQR total scores (B = 0.417, SE = 0.173, β = .31, R
