1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo examine the daily course of, and factors associated with, momentary fatigue after subarachnoid haemorrhage, and to explore subgroups of patients with distinct diurnal patterns of fatigue.

designObservational study using ecological momentary assessment. SUBJECTS: A total of 41 participants with subarachnoid haemorrhage.

methodsPatients with fatigue were included within one year post-onset. Momentary fatigue (scale 1-7) was assessed with repeated measurements (10-11 times/day) during 7 consecutive days. Multilevel-mixed-model analyses and latent-class trajectory modelling were conducted.

resultsMean (standard deviation; SD) age of the group was 53.9 (13.0) years, 56% female, and mean (SD) time post-subarachnoid haemorrhage onset was 9.3 (3.2) months. Mean (SD) momentary fatigue over all days was 3.22 (1.47). Fatigue increased significantly (p < 0.001) over the day, and experiencing more burden of fatigue and day type (working day vs weekend day) were significantly (p < 0.05) associated with higher momentary fatigue. Three subgroups could be distinguished based on diurnal patterns of fatigue. The largest group (n = 17, 41.5%) showed an increasing daily pattern of fatigue.

conclusionMomentary fatigue in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage increases over the day, and diurnal patterns of fatigue differ between  participants. In addition to conventional measures, momentary measures of fatigue might provide valuable information for physicians to optimize personalized management of fatigue after subarachnoid haemorrhage.
