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

Little is known about the impacts of fatigue after cancer treatment, including whether cancer-related fatigue impacts people's use of healthcare. This study sought to examine how cancer-related fatigue impacts healthcare use after completing cancer treatment. A population-based survey was administered in Nova Scotia, Canada, to examine survivors' experiences and needs after completing cancer treatment. Respondents included survivors of breast, melanoma, colorectal, prostate, hematologic, and young adult cancers who were 1-3 years post-treatment. Survey responses were linked to cancer registry, physicians' claims, hospitalization, and ambulatory care data. Data were analyzed descriptively and using regression models. The final study cohort included 823 respondents. Younger respondents reported higher levels of cancer-related fatigue compared to older respondents. More females than males reported cancer-related fatigue. Upon adjusted analyses, those with cancer-related fatigue had lower odds of being discharged to primary care for their cancer-related follow-up (odds ratio = 0.71,
