Fatigue, Stress Appraisal, and Emotional Functioning Among Youth With Sickle Cell Disease: A Daily Diary Study.
Article in Journal of pediatric psychology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to assess how fatigue is related to mood among youth with sickle cell disease (SCD) by evaluating if the cognitive appraisal of stress moderates the impact of fatigue on emotional functioning consistent with the Risk-and-Resistance Model of Chronic Illness.
methodsDaily diaries assessing fatigue (Numerical Rating Scale), pain intensity (Numerical Rating Scale), mood (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule for Children), and cognitive appraisal of stress (Stress Appraisal Measure for Adolescents) were collected from 25 youth with SCD (ages 11-18 years) for 8 consecutive weeks resulting in 644 daily diaries for analyses.
resultsWhen measured concurrently, higher fatigue was associated with higher negative mood controlling for pain and prior-night sleep quality. Fatigue predicted next-day negative mood through its interaction with primary and secondary appraisal of stress, consistent with stress appraisal as a protective factor. A similar pattern was observed for pain, which, like fatigue, is a common SCD-related stressor.
conclusionFatigue and negative mood are inter-related when concurrently assessed, but their temporal association in SCD suggests that mood changes are not an inevitable sequalae of increased fatigue; fatigue influenced subsequent levels of negative mood, but only in the presence of less adaptive cognitions about stress; specifically, a higher perceived threat from stress and a lower belief in the ability to manage stress. The results suggest specific cognitive targets for reducing the negative impact of fatigue on mood in SCD.
