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
backgroundThe evaluation of fatigue experienced by individuals with chronic diseases by nursing students and patients is very important in terms of improving the quality of care.
methodThe study was conducted in a descriptive cross-sectional manner between November and December 2022 with students in the nursing department of the Faculty of Health Sciences of a state university located in a province, and patients receiving treatment in the clinic with a diagnosis of chronic disease to which these students cared during their clinical practice. The study population consisted of all nursing students at the specified faculty and individuals diagnosed with chronic diseases hospitalized in relevant clinics, and the sample consisted of 221 students and 442 patients, in line with the power analysis. Necessary permissions were obtained from the institution, ethics committee, student nurses, and patients before the study. A questionnaire and visual analog scale for fatigue were used to collect the data. Scores that can be obtained from visual analog scale range between 0 and 10, and a high score indicates high fatigue.
resultsThe average age of the student nurses was 20.28 ± 1.05 years and 83.7% practiced in internal clinics. 26.2% of the students thought that patients diagnosed with cancer experienced fatigue the most, and 35.3% stated that sleep should be supported as a nursing intervention to reduce patients' fatigue. The average age of the individuals with chronic diseases was 53.44 ± 16.83 years, 53.8% were male, and 36.9% were primary school graduates. The mean fatigue score was found as 6.08 ± 2.06 according to patient evaluation and 5.95 ± 1.83 according to student nurses (p˃0.05). In addition, it was determined that patients who were female, single, illiterate, had a poor income, did not work, and did not smoke or drink alcohol experienced more severe fatigue (p˃0.05).
conclusionIt was determined that the average fatigue score of the patients cared for by student nurses was very close to the average fatigue score evaluated by the patients themselves. In this context, it is recommended that nursing students should evaluate the fatigue level of patients and support them with appropriate nursing interventions under the guidance of clinical nurses and instructors.
