Risk factors for cancer-related fatigue in patients with colorectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis 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 26 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
purposeCancer-related fatigue seriously affects the quality of life of cancer patients, yet few systematic reviews have evaluated the risk factors for cancer-related fatigue in patients with colorectal cancer. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis to assess the risk factors of cancer-related fatigue in patients with colorectal cancer.
methodsLiterature databases, including PubMed, Ovid, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the Web of Science, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, and VIP, were searched from their establishment to September 2021 to identify suitable studies. The quality of included studies was assessed using different tools and evaluated independently by two investigators. Review Manager version 5.4 (Cochrane Collaboration, London, UK) was used for statistical analysis, and sensitivity analysis was conducted.
resultsIn total, 2642 articles were screened, and data from 25 studies involving 8733 subjects were included in this meta-analysis. After controlling for confounding variables, the following risk factors were associated with cancer-related fatigue: younger age, female sex, low physical activity level, a clinical stage of III or IV, surgery, chemotherapy, insomnia, pain, anxiety, and depression.
conclusionYounger age, female sex, low physical activity level, a clinical stage of III or IV, chemotherapy, pain, insomnia, anxiety, and depression were identified as risk factors for cancer-related fatigue. Future research should focus on how multidisciplinary teams adopt targeted measures according to these risk factors to better reduce the incidence of cancer-related fatigue.
