Fatigue and Functional Ability in Patients Undergoing Upfront Surgical Treatment for Solid Malignancies.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Fatigue is an underassessed and underreported aspect of cancer patients undergoing treatment. In patients being treated with surgery, its extent and manifestations may be varied but it affects their functional quality of life. This study was designed to evaluate the level of fatigue in pre- and post-surgery period and its relation with the functional disability in patients undergoing upfront surgery for solid malignancies. A prospective observational study was conducted between 2016 and 2017. A total of 71 patients with malignant solid tumors (up to stage III) undergoing upfront surgery were included. The fatigue and functional disability were assessed in pre- and post-surgery period using Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 (MFI-20) and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT-F) questionnaires respectively. The mean age was 42.4 years. The post-operative fatigue levels were significantly higher compared with the pre-operative levels (
