Determinants of fatigue in patients with Marfan syndrome: a study using PROMS.
Article in Orphanet journal of rare diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundFatigue is often reported by individuals with Marfan syndrome (MFS). However, the determinants of fatigue and its impact on the daily lives of patients with MFS remain poorly understood. We sought to assess the level of fatigue and its determinants in individuals with MFS.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study in ComPaRe Marfan, an e-cohort of MFS patients. Fatigue was assessed using the FACIT questionnaire already used in a wide range of chronic diseases. Pain and its interference with daily life were assessed using the Brief Pain Inventory. We performed univariate and multivariable linear regressions to identify determinants of fatigue.
resultsA total of 162 people with MFS completed the FACIT-Fatigue questionnaire. The median age was 46 and 59% were women. The median FACIT-Fatigue score was 31(IQR 22-39) and over ¾ of the cohort had a FACIT-Fatigue score below 40 corresponding to at least some level of fatigue. In the multivariate model, only pain interference was associated with fatigue (Coeff= -0.34, CI95%: [-0.46; -0.22], p < 0.001). Beta-blocker treatment, history of aortic, lens or scoliosis surgery were not associated with FACIT fatigue score. In addition, the FACIT fatigue scores was repeated every month during 3 months and were stable over time.
conclusionFatigue is common in patients with MFS and is associated with pain that interferes with daily life. Therefore, pain management in MFS patients could improve quality of life and fatigue.
