Prevalence and Associated Factors of Cancer-Related Fatigue Among Cancer Patients in Eastern China.

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
backgroundCancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a subjective and distressing symptom, and its associated factors in developing countries remain ambiguous. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of and factors associated with CRF among cancer patients in China.
methodsThis study was designed as a cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence of and factors associated with CRF among cancer patients in eastern China, regardless of their diagnoses. Data were collected by using a questionnaire survey (including demographic information and brief fatigue inventory) after informed written consent was obtained. A chi-square test was used to analyze the correlations between single categorical factors and CRF, and multiple logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the associations of potential risk factors with the presence of CRF.
resultsOut of a total population of 1,938 cancer patients, 1,749 had completed the study questionnaire; 52.07% (
conclusionThe results of this study suggest that effective management of the two changeable contributing factors of CRF may reduce CRF and thus could be used as references for CRF management. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The two modifiable factors of cancer-related fatigue (CRF)-sleep disturbance and physical exercise-should be specifically assessed and managed to mitigate CRF.
