Perceptions of the Fatigue Experience and a Breathing Awareness Meditation-Integrated mHealth App for Fatigue and Stress in Patients with Sarcoidosis.

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
Objective: Sarcoidosis-associated fatigue is a debilitating consequence of sarcoidosis, a multi-system inflammatory disease, and may be related to increased stress associated with sarcoidosis. Breathing awareness meditation has potential as an intervention for managing stress and fatigue for sarcoidosis patients (SPs). This project's aim was to obtain feedback from key informants to design and tailor a patient-centered Methods: We used a mixed-method patient/user-centered design with triangulation to understand SPs experiences of sarcoidosis-associated fatigue and stress ( Results: We report on findings from qualitative interviews and assessment of SPs' experiences including themes describing fatigue/stress interactions. Themes indicated that SPs find fatigue to be a profoundly difficult experience affecting multiple domains of functioning for which they perceive few effective strategies to cope. SPs and HCTMs shared feedback on the SPARC App-prototype after a test session; it was reported to be user friendly and to have potential for improving fatigue/stress, and key points for tailoring the App to SPs were shared. Conclusion: Sarcoidosis-associated fatigue poses a significant burden for SPs. The SPARC App-prototype with breathing awareness meditation was acceptable and feasible to use and was well-received by SPs and HCTMs. Future iterations of the SPARC App to test the effect of breathing awareness meditation on fatigue will need to incorporate recommendations for tailoring for SPs.
