Predictors of fatigue in rheumatoid arthritis.
Review in Rheumatology (Oxford, England), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
People with RA commonly experience fatigue. Fatigue is a key contributor to increased clinical care costs, primary care consultations and employment loss. Despite this, our understanding of the prognostic of factors of poor fatigue outcomes is lacking and fatigue is poorly managed. Examining longitudinal predictors of fatigue can identify both individuals 'at risk' of poor prognosis, and candidate mechanisms that are worthy of greater inspection. This review discusses the factors most commonly investigated as being implicated in the prognosis of RA fatigue. The available data appears to implicate generic factors such as pain, mental health, disability and sleep as consistent predictors of fatigue outcome, while the role of disease activity and inflammation seems less clear. However, the existing data are not without methodological limitations and there have been no specific studies primarily designed to investigate the inflammatory biomarkers of fatigue. Future studies are required to more comprehensively and robustly determine the mechanisms of fatigue.
