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

backgroundA high prevalence of somatisation is associated with a strong impairment of quality of life. Recent research suggests common underlying mechanism of central sensitisation in functional syndromes and chronic pain, with emotion regulation (ER) processes closely linked to somatic symptoms. This study examines the relationship between negative affect (NA) and anger rumination (AR) and its influence on somatisation.

methodsFive hundred seven individuals participated (mean age = 34.60 ± 13.22 years; 380 women). They completed the Patient Health Questionnaire, Negative Affect Scale, and Displaced Aggression Questionnaire. A cross-sectional multivariate factorial relational design was used. Descriptive, multiple linear regression, and mediation analyses were conducted on the total and sex-separated samples.

resultsData analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between NA and AR (r = 0.55,

conclusionsNA and AR were associated with increased somatic symptoms. These findings suggest the benefit of developing interventions that encourage the use of functional ER strategies. These can help to reduce NA, which in a prolonged form can constitute a vulnerability for organisms, especially in those people with a tendency to somatise.
