Validation of the Chinese version of Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 in Chinese patients with cancer.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03394495 (Evaluation of an Individualized Exercise Programme Plus Behavioural Change Enhancement Strategies for Managing General Fatigue in Community-dwelling Frail Older People), which is not on this map. Cited by 33 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
goals of workThe purpose of this research is to study the validation of the Chinese version of Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 in measuring fatigue status of the patients with cancer in China. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe original English version of the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 was translated into a Chinese version, which was applied to measure the fatigue status of cancer patients prior to commencing chemotherapy and during the last week of chemotherapy, respectively. The reliability and criterion-related validity of the Chinese version of the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 were assessed by calculating Cronbach's α and Pearson correlation coefficients. The construct validity was analyzed by employing factor analysis. MAIN
resultsThere were three dimensions in the Chinese version of the MFI-20, which measures the physical, mental, and spiritual fatigue of patients with cancer. All of the correlation coefficients between EORTC QLQ-C30V3.0 and MFI-20 were statistically significant (P < 0.0001). The Cronbach's α coefficient was more than 0.8 and 0.7 for total MFI-20 and for the three dimensions of the Chinese version of the MFI-20, respectively.
conclusionsThe Chinese version of the MFI-20 is a reliable and valid instrument to assess fatigue in Chinese patients with cancer.
