Fatigue and associated factors among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus in China: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate fatigue in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and systematically analyze the main factors associated with fatigue. Methods: We recruited potential participants from the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of two tertiary hospitals in China between August 2021 and January 2022. We used questionnaires to collect research data, including sociodemographic data, disease-related data, fatigue, anxiety and depression, illness perception, social support, sleep quality, physical activity, and disease activity. The independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), non-parametric test, Pearson's/Spearman's correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis were used in this study. Results: A total of 201 patients with SLE were included in this study. The prevalence of fatigue in SLE patients was 58.7%, with a mean fatigue score of 4.36 ± 1.18. The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that higher depression ( Conclusion: The prevalence of fatigue in SLE was 58.7%. Fatigue was associated with monthly household income, educational level, depression, illness perception, pain, social support, sleep quality, and physical activity. No significant association was observed between anxiety, disease activity, age, work status, and fatigue. Future fatigue management for SLE patients should prioritize modifiable non-disease-activity-related factors.
