Comparing comorbidity measures and fatigue post myocardial infarction.
Article in Applied nursing research : ANR, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
PURPOSE/
aimsThe purpose of this study was to examine comorbidity measures that may relate to the symptom of fatigue post MI: self-reported comorbidities, medication-validated comorbidities, weighted comorbidities for fatigue, and number of comorbidities.
designUsing a cross sectional design, we interviewed a convenience sample of 98 adults, 65 and older, who were 6 to 8 months post myocardial infarction.
methodsParticipants self-reported their comorbidities using a list of 23 comorbid conditions. All medications were visually inspected, and medications were reviewed by a geriatric pharmacist for a common side effect of fatigue. The Revised Piper Fatigue Scale was used to measure fatigue.
resultsThe mean age of the participants was 76 (SD = 6.3), and most of the sample were White (84%). Neither medication-validated comorbidities nor those medications with fatigue as a common side effect explained fatigue. When controlling for age, sex, and marital status, self-reported comorbidities explained 10% of the variance in fatigue (F (4, 93) = 2.65; p = 0.04). Having 5 or more self-reported comorbidities explained 7% of variance in fatigue scores (F (1, 96) = 7.53; p = 0.007).
conclusionComorbidities are associated with fatigue post MI. Adults post MI with 5 or more comorbidities should be screened for fatigue.
