Fatigue in hormone-naïve prostate cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy or definitive radiotherapy.
Article in Prostate cancer and prostatic diseases, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Chronic fatigue (CF) is a distressing symptom that follows cancer treatment; however, it has rarely been studied in hormone-naïve prostate cancer survivors after radical prostatectomy (RP) or definitive radiotherapy (RAD). We investigated CF in prostate cancer survivors after RP or RAD as monotherapy and explored associations between CF and medical and psychosocial variables. A population-based, cross-sectional postal survey in 2006 included Norwegian hormone-naïve survivors with the diagnosis of prostate cancer in 2004 who were treated with RP (n=337) or RAD (n=184). The primary outcome variable was prevalence of CF (defined as fatigue lasting 6 months or longer). Twelve to 32 months after RP and RAD, 13.4 and 26.1% of the patients after, respectively, RP and RAD reported CF inversely associated with pretreatment age (P=0.003). In multivariate analysis, high neuroticism, post-treatment co-morbidity, pain, urinary and intestinal dysfunction, but not sexual dysfunction, were positively associated with reporting CF. Further studies of CF in prostate cancer survivors should take into consideration the survivors' pretreatment medical and psychosocial situation.
