Usefulness of the MFIS-K, FSS, and FACIT-F Fatigue Scales in Korean Patients With MS, NMOSD, and MOGAD.
Article in Journal of clinical neurology (Seoul, Korea), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
background and purposeFatigue is common in demyelinating disorders of the central nervous system (CNS), including multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD). We aimed to validate the usefulness of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) and the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) relative to the Korean version of the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS-K) in Korean patients with MS, NMOSD, and MOGAD.
methodsThere were 294 patients with MS (
resultsThe MFIS-K, FACIT-F, and FSS scores showed high internal consistencies and strong correlations with each other in the MS, NMOSD, and MOGAD groups. The scores on all three fatigue scales were correlated with PSQI, SF-36, and BDI-II results in the three groups. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for the FSS and FACIT-F were 0.834 and 0.835, respectively, for MS, 0.877 and 0.833 for NMOSD, and 0.925 and 0.883 for MOGAD.
conclusionsThese results suggest that the MFIS-K, FSS, and FACIT-F are useful and valuable assessment instruments for evaluating fatigue in Korean patients with MS, NMOSD, and MOGAD.
