Fatigue after breast cancer treatment: Biobehavioral predictors of fatigue trajectories.

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
objectiveFatigue is a common side effect of cancer treatment, but there is considerable variability in fatigue severity and persistence among survivors. This study aimed to characterize longitudinal trajectories of fatigue after breast cancer treatment and to identify predictors of varying fatigue trajectories.
methodsWomen (N = 191) from the Mind-Body Study completed assessments after primary treatment for early stage breast cancer and at regular follow-ups that occurred up to 6 years after treatment (M = 4.3 years). Growth mixture models were used to characterize fatigue trajectories, and demographic, medical, and biobehavioral risk factors were examined as predictors of trajectory group.
resultsFive trajectories were identified, characterized as High, Recovery, Late, Low, and Very Low fatigue. The High and Recovery groups (40% of sample) evidenced elevated fatigue at posttreatment that declined in Recovery but persisted in the High group. In bivariate analyses, trajectory groups differed significantly on depressive symptoms, sleep disturbance, childhood adversity, body mass index, and the inflammatory marker soluble TNF receptor type II, which were higher in the High and/or Recovery groups. In multivariate models, depressive symptoms and childhood adversity distinguished High and Recovery from other groups. Rates of chemotherapy were higher in the Recovery than in the High or Late group, whereas rates of endocrine therapy were higher in the High than in the Recovery group.
conclusionsThere are distinct longitudinal trajectories of fatigue after breast cancer treatment. Psychological factors are strongly associated with adverse fatigue trajectories, and together with treatment exposures may increase risk for cancer-related fatigue.
