Distinct sleep disturbance and cognitive dysfunction profiles in oncology outpatients receiving chemotherapy.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
purposeSleep disturbance and cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) are two of the most common symptoms reported by patients undergoing chemotherapy. Less is known about how these symptoms co-occur and their associated risk factors. Study purposes were to identify subgroups of patients with distinct sleep disturbance and CRCI profiles and evaluate for differences among the subgroups in demographic and clinical characteristics, symptom severity scores, and QOL outcomes.
methodsA total of 1,333 oncology outpatients receiving chemotherapy completed self-report questionnaires on sleep disturbance and cognitive dysfunction six times over two cycles of chemotherapy. Latent profile analysis was used to identify distinct sleep disturbance AND cognitive dysfunction profiles. Parametric and non-parametric tests were used to evaluate for differences among the classes.
resultsTwo distinct profiles were identified (i.e., Low = low levels of both sleep disturbance and cognitive dysfunction (53.5%); High = high levels of both sleep disturbance and cognitive dysfunction (45.5%)). Patients in the High class were younger, more likely to be female, had a lower functional status and a higher level of comorbidity. In addition, these patients had a higher symptom burden and a lower quality of life.
conclusionAlmost half of the patients undergoing chemotherapy experienced clinically meaningful levels of both symptoms. Of note, sleep disturbance is frequently overlooked by both clinicians and patients. Clinicians need to recommend cognitive rehabilitation and physical activity programs to decrease patients' symptom burden.
