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.

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.

Abstract

purposeTo investigate the effect of an 8-week multi-modal eHealth cancer-related fatigue intervention in women with breast cancer. eHealth included remote education, individualized exercise, and weekly problem-solving sessions. Primary outcomes were recruitment/retention and cancer-related fatigue level. Quality of life was a secondary aim.

methodsWomen with Stage 0-3 breast cancer between 18-70 years who scored ≥ 4/10 on the One-Item Fatigue Scale, completed chemotherapy and/or radiation within 5 years, and did not have chronic fatigue, were randomly assigned to eHealth intervention (eHealth) (n = 18) or control (n = 24). Cancer-related fatigue and quality of life were measured before and after intervention using the Brief Fatigue Inventory and the Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy-General.

resultsSocial media was an effective way to recruit participants into this study; however, more participants in the eHealth group dropped out than the control group. Both groups' fatigue scores significantly decreased over time (p = 0.001). eHealth decreases in fatigue reached a minimally clinically important difference (2.25), but control did not (1.3). Quality of life significantly improved in the eHealth group compared to the control (p = 0.03).

conclusionMulti-modal cancer-related fatigue eHealth intervention appears to clinically reduce fatigue and improve quality of life among women with breast cancer. US Clinical Trial Register NCT05868187. Date registered: 2-7-2023. www.clinicalgrials.gov.
