Time-restricted Eating to Address Cancer-related Fatigue among Cancer Survivors: A Single-arm Pilot Study.
Article in Journal of integrative oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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
Purpose: Cancer-related fatigue is a prevalent, debilitating condition that can persist for months or years after treatment. In a single-arm clinical trial, the feasibility and safety of a time-restricted eating (TRE) intervention were evaluated among cancer survivors, and initial estimates of within-person change in cancer-related fatigue were obtained. Methods: Participants were 4-60 months post-cancer treatment, were experiencing fatigue (≥ 3 on a scale 0-10), and were not following TRE. TRE entailed limiting all food and beverages to a self-selected 10-h window for 14 days. Participants reported their eating window in a daily diary and completed the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F), Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI), and symptom inventory pre- and post-intervention. This study was pre-registered at clinicaltrials.gov in January 2020 (NCT04243512). Results: Participants (n=39) were 61.5 ± 12.4 years old and 1.8 ± 1.3 years post-treatment; 89.7% had had breast cancer. The intervention was feasible in that 36/39 (92.3%) of participants completed all questionnaires and daily diaries. It was also safe with no severe adverse events or rapid weight loss (average loss of 1.1 ± 2.3 pounds, Conclusion: A 10-h TRE intervention was feasible and safe among survivors, and fatigue improved with a moderate effect size after two weeks. Limitations: This was a single-arm study, so it is possible that expectation effects were present for fatigue outcomes, independent of effects of TRE
