Fatigue severity and fatigue sensitivity: relations to anxiety, depression, pain catastrophizing, and pain severity among adults with severe fatigue and chronic low back pain.

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
Chronic low back pain is the second leading cause of disability in the United States, and it is often associated with severe fatigue. However, little is known about individual differences that may be related to poorer mental health and pain among individuals with severe fatigue and chronic low back pain. The aim of the current investigation was to explore the role of fatigue severity and fatigue sensitivity in terms of anxiety and depressive symptoms, pain catastrophizing, pain interference, and pain severity among 783 adults with severe fatigue and chronic low back pain. Results suggest that fatigue severity and fatigue sensitivity were statistically significant predictors for anxiety, depression, pain interference, and pain catastrophizing. However, only fatigue sensitivity significantly predicted pain severity. Overall, the current study provides initial support for the role of fatigue severity and fatigue sensitivity in the presence of mental and physical health complaints among individuals with severe fatigue and chronic low back pain.
