The complex relationship between physical activity and fatigue with socioeconomic status, and mental health factors in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease.

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
backgroundWe aimed to assess to what extent socioeconomic status (SES) and elevated symptoms of anxiety and depression predict low physical activity (PA) and high fatigue among individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
methodsParticipants from the University of Manitoba IBD Research Registry completed a cross-sectional survey pertaining to fatigue, IBD symptoms, PA, and mental health. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS), Generalized Anxiety Disorders-7, and Patient Health Questionnaire scales were used. Disease activity was defined by the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Symptom Inventory.
resultsAmong those who were fatigued (MFIS > 38) more were <63 years of age (63% vs 49%, P < .001), reported education of highschool level or less (34% vs 27%, P = .03), had low household income <$50 000 (24% vs. 16%, P < .01), were not in a relationship (25% vs 18%, P < .001), and were current smokers (16% vs 7%, P < .0001). The odds of low SES were greater for those who participated in low PA (OR = 2.75, 95% CI = 1.8-4.3), low PA and were fatigued (OR = 3.05, 95% CI = 1.7-5.3), and low PA excluding fatigue (OR = 2.28, 95% CI = 1.3-3.9). Low SES was not significantly associated with fatigue (P = .08), particularly after removing PA observations (OR = 1.00, 95% CI = 0.47-1.97). After adjusting for demographic and clinical factors, the odds of being fatigued were greater among those with elevated anxiety (aOR = 14.4, 95% CI = 9.4-22.4), depression (aOR = 39.6, 95% CI = 24.1-67.2), and active disease (aOR = 6.9, 95% CI = 4.8-9.97). The results did not change when removing low PA from the analysis.
conclusionsLow SES was a main driver of engaging in low PA (and not high fatigue). Anxiety and/or depression and active disease were drivers of high fatigue (and not low PA).
