Excess Body Weight and Cancer-Related Fatigue, Systemic Inflammation, and Serum Lipids in Breast Cancer Survivors.
Trial report in Nutrition and cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02352779 (Feasibility of Omega-3 Supplementation for Cancer-Related Fatigue), which is not on this map. Cited by 25 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.

Abstract
backgroundCancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a common side effect impacting breast cancer survivors. Research points to a relationship between obesity and CRF in breast cancer survivors related to elevated systemic inflammation and metabolic alterations.
methodsThis cross-sectional study examined the relationship of obesity to CRF, inflammatory markers and serum lipids through a secondary analysis of a nationwide randomized controlled trial. Breast cancer survivors with CRF were categorized based on BMI category. Symptoms of CRF, inflammatory markers and serum fatty acids were assessed among groups.
resultsThere were 105 breast cancer survivors in the analysis. BMI was positively associated with CRF based on MFSI General (
conclusionsObese breast cancer survivors had greater levels of CRF, inflammatory markers and certain fatty acids. Inflammatory markers and fatty acids were not found to have any mediating or positive association with CRF variables in this analysis. NCT02352779.
