Fatigue, Depression, and Anxiety in Patients with COPD, Asthma and Asthma-COPD Overlap.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
introductionAsthma and COPD are extremely common respiratory diseases that have a serious impact on people's lives around the world. A disease characterized by symptoms characteristic for asthma and COPD is called asthma-COPD overlap (ACO). Fatigue and certain psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression are important comorbidities in these diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of fatigue, anxiety, and depression in patients with asthma, COPD, and ACO and to also consider their mutual correlations. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 325 patients were enrolled in the study. There were 159 women and 166 men and their mean age was 63. Two standardized questionnaires were used: the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
resultsThe mean total MFIS score for all patients was 33.03. Patients with asthma generally scored lower than patients with COPD and ACO. There were no statistical differences in the HADS for anxiety between the groups, although around half of the patients registered a score indicating some level of disorder. Patients with COPD and ACO were proven to suffer more from depression than patients with asthma. The HADS and MFIS scores were found to correlate significantly and positively.
conclusionsOur study showed that patients with COPD, asthma, and ACO generally suffered from an increased level of fatigue and depression. Anxiety was high in all groups, but it was at a similar level for patients suffering from each of the three diseases under consideration. It is important to treat the physical symptoms as well as the psychological disorders since they greatly impact on the patient outcomes.
