Fatigue and sleep quality in Chinese adults with connective tissue disease: A cross-sectional study.

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
objectivesThis study aims to evaluate fatigue and sleep quality among adults with connective tissue disease (CTD), and the interrelationship.
methodsFrom April 2020 to February 2021, adult CTD patients hospitalized were invited to complete sociodemographic and disease-related data, Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), as well as laboratory detection through computer query. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0.
resultsA total of 363 patients with CTD were included in the study. Of which, 313 patients were accompanied by single CTD (systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) = 109, Sjogren's syndrome (SS) = 51, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) = 44, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) = 36, Vasculitis = 17, systemic sclerosis (SSc) = 14, other = 42, respectively), and 50 patients had CTD ≥ 2. Compared with CTD = 1, patients with CTD ≥ 2 had longer disease duration, higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and higher IgG level (all P < 0.05). The prevalence of poor sleep quality in 363 CTD patients was 61.2%, among which, 59.1% for CTD = 1 and 74.0% for CTD ≥ 2, with significant difference (P = 0.045). Additionally, 75.5% experienced fatigue, and 75.4% for CTD = 1, 76.0% for CTD ≥ 2 (P = 0.927). Fatigue and sleep quality interacted in CTD patients (r = 0.236, P < 0.01; χ
conclusionsMore than 3/5 CTD patients experience fatigue and poor sleep quality, and not different among CTD subgroups. Targeted interventions are needed to reduce fatigue, improve sleep quality, and ultimately improve the prognosis of patients with CTD.
