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
objectivesTo systematically evaluate the therapeutic effects of exercise interventions on anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), compare the differential efficacy of various exercise modalities, and provide evidence-based guidance for optimizing individualized exercise prescriptions in clinical practice.
methodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted in CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, SinoMed, Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase from inception to August 25, 2025. Study selection followed the PICOS framework, and methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Conventional pairwise meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the overall effect of exercise interventions, with heterogeneity assessed via the
resultsA total of 30 articles (comprising 33 studies) with 1844 participants were included. Pairwise meta-analysis showed that, compared with control groups, exercise interventions significantly improved anxiety symptoms (SMD=－0.407, 95%CI: －0.515-－0.298,
conclusionsExercise interventions are safe and effective in ameliorating anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients with FMS. Mind-body exercise and aerobic exercise may be the optimal choices for anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms, respectively, and their efficacy is associated with exercise prescription parameters.
