Prevalence and Characterization of Fatigue in Patients with Skin Diseases.
Article in Acta dermato-venereologica, 2020. 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
The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and nature of fatigue in patients with skin diseases by comparison with controls, using a survey of a large representative sample of the French population (n = 2,502). Of the respondents, 659 reported having a skin disease and 1,843 did not. Quality of life was decreased in people with skin diseases compared with controls, while levels of stress and sleep deprivation were higher in people with skin diseases. Level of fatigue was higher in people with skin diseases than in controls. The relative risk of fatigue was 4.71 (3.44-5.98, p < 0.001). Mediation analysis, adjusted according to sex, age and each skin disease, showed that the effects of skin diseases on fatigue were more commonly direct than indirect. To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that patients with skin diseases experience fatigue more frequently and more intensely. Hence, fatigue should be used as a new patient-related outcome in clinical trials.
