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

Objective: This study aimed to validate the Korean version of the Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS-K) as a reliable tool for assessing cancer-related fatigue (CRF) for cancer survivors. Methods: A total of 208 cancer survivors who completed active treatment participated in evaluating the reliability, construct validity, and factor structure of the CFS-K through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Correlations with the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACT-F) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) scales were analyzed to assess construct validity. Results: The CFS-K demonstrated strong psychometric properties, with high internal consistency (Cronbach's Conclusions: The CFS-K is a reliable and valid tool for assessing multidimensional CRF in cancer survivors.
