Predictors of fatigue in cancer patients: a longitudinal study.

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
introductionHaving a better understanding of predictors of cancer-related fatigue makes it easier to early identify patients at risk of suffering from long-term fatigue. The aim of this longitudinal study was to identify factors that predict long-term fatigue 6 months after discharge from a rehabilitation clinic using a multidimensional conceptualization.
methodA mixed sample of cancer survivors (N = 948) were recruited while in-patient at a rehabilitation clinic. The follow-up survey was administered 6 months after they were discharged from the clinic. Fatigue was assessed with the EORTC QLQ-FA12. Predictive values were estimated using hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses.
resultsMean fatigue scores were 20.7 (cognitive fatigue), 30.9 (emotional fatigue), and 53.2 (physical fatigue) at baseline and significantly lower at follow-up (Cohen's d 0.12-0.31). Baseline levels of fatigue and depression were identified as important predictors of all dimensions of fatigue. Partnership and time since diagnosis predicted only the levels of physical fatigue. The regression models explained between 36% and 45% of variance in fatigue.
conclusionLevels of fatigue in early stages as well as psychosocial issues could enable clinicians to identify patients with elevated long-term fatigue and thus to provide optimal care for improving patients' quality of life. Findings of different associates of individual dimensions of fatigue support the multidimensional concept of fatigue.
