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

purposeTo investigate the current status of CRF and identify its influencing factors in patients undergoing chemotherapy for gastric cancer.

methodsA total of 525 patients receiving chemotherapy for gastric cancer were recruited from a tertiary general hospital in China. Data were collected using a set of standardized questionnaires. Stepwise multiple linear regression was applied to determine the impact of variables that were statistically significant (P < 0.05) in independent sample t tests, one-way ANOVA, and correlation analyses on fatigue levels. All statistical tests were two-sided, with a significance level set at α = 0.05.

resultsThe median (interquartile range) scores for total CRF, physical fatigue, emotional fatigue, and cognitive fatigue were 21.00 (15.00-27.00), 8.00 (4.00-12.00), 9.00 (7.00-11.00), and 4.00 (1.00-6.00), respectively. Overall, 57.2% of patients experienced moderate to severe fatigue. Multivariate analysis showed that female gender, nutritional risk status, poor sleep status, depression, and pain were significantly associated with higher CRF in patients undergoing chemotherapy for gastric cancer, together explaining 31.6% of the total variance.

conclusionCRF is highly prevalent among patients with gastric cancer and is influenced by multiple factors. These findings provide scientific evidence for the early identification of high-risk groups and the development of personalized intervention programs.
