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

objectivePain during activities of daily living (ADL) may reflect functional interference more directly than pain at rest. We examined whether pain hypervigilance is associated with ADL pain beyond resting pain in women with fibromyalgia, while also exploring the contribution of objective cognitive efficiency and an ADL-rest pain difference score (ADL pain minus resting pain).

methodsIn this cross-sectional observational study, 124 women with fibromyalgia completed 0-10 numerical rating scales for resting pain and pain during activities of daily living (ADL pain), the 9-item Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, and a neurocognitive battery summarized as an Objective Cognitive Efficiency Index (OCI). ADL pain was analyzed using ordinary least squares regression adjusted for resting pain, hypervigilance, OCI, age, and body mass index with HC3-robust standard errors. An ADL-rest pain difference score (ADL pain minus resting pain) was examined as a secondary outcome. Complementary analyses included penalized regression with nested cross-validation, partial-correlation network estimation, and sensitivity models additionally adjusting for affective symptoms and fibromyalgia impact.

resultsResting pain (B = 0.254, p = .009) and hypervigilance (B = 0.054, p = .005) were independently associated with higher ADL pain in the adjusted model (R

conclusionPain hypervigilance was associated with daily-activity pain beyond resting pain, supporting its relevance as a modest correlate of functional pain interference in fibromyalgia. Objective cognitive efficiency showed only a weak association, and the ADL-rest pain difference score outcome added little explanatory value. These findings support baseline-adjusted modeling of ADL pain over simple difference score approaches, while highlighting the need for longitudinal and interventional studies. Key Points • Pain hypervigilance is associated with higher pain during daily activities beyond resting pain in fibromyalgia. • Daily-activity pain may better reflect functional pain interference than resting pain alone. • Objective cognitive efficiency shows a weak, non-conclusive association with activity-related pain. • ADL-rest pain difference scores provide limited explanatory value compared to adjusted models.
