Cancer-related fatigue in patients before and after radical prostatectomy. Results of a prospective multi-centre study.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
purposeA multi-centre, longitudinal study was conducted to assess the prevalence of fatigue amongst men with localized prostate cancer, to describe several dimensions of fatigue and to explore the predictability of fatigue by psychological distress and physical function.
methodsThe prevalence of fatigue was evaluated using the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory in 329 prostate cancer patients before, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. Psychological distress was assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Physical function was measured using the EORTC QLQ-C30.
resultsAfter surgery, about 14 % of the patients were screened with chronic fatigue. For all dimensions of fatigue, only small longitudinal changes could be observed. Psychological distress could be identified as a good predictor of fatigue after but not before surgery.
conclusionsRadical prostatectomy has no or little impact on the prevalence of fatigue. However, about 14 % of patients with chronic fatigue could possibly benefit from psychosomatic interventions. Interventions should consider the simultaneous appearance of fatigue and psychological distress and a reduced physical function.
