Symptom clusters and network analysis in patients with gynecologic cancer undergoing chemotherapy: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Objective: This study aimed to explore the complex relationships among symptoms and symptom clusters in patients with gynecologic cancer receiving chemotherapy using symptom network analysis, and to identify core symptoms and core symptom clusters. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from December 2023 to June 2024, including 221 patients with gynecologic tumors. Participants completed demographic and clinical information questionnaires and the Chinese version of the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI-C). Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression were used to screen covariates, exploratory factor analysis to determine symptom clusters, and network analysis to identify core symptoms and core symptom clusters. Results: A total of 221 patients were included, with an average age of 58.73 years (SD = 11.50). Fatigue ( Conclusions: Patients with gynecologic cancer undergoing chemotherapy commonly experience a range of symptoms. Our findings suggest that targeted interventions focusing on the sickness behavior symptom cluster may help reduce the overall symptom burden and assist caregivers in developing more effective symptom management strategies.
