Cancer Related Fatigue and its Association with Depression and Anxiety in the Patients with Advanced Gastric Cancer.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 2026. 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
purposeTo assess the prevalence and severity of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in patients with advanced gastric cancer and its association with clinicopathological and psychosocial factors, including anxiety and depression.
methodIn a prospective cohort study, 97 patients with advanced gastric cancer on chemotherapy were prospectively assessed using the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI), FACT-G for quality of life, HAM-A for anxiety, and HAM-D for depression. Statistical analyses evaluated associations and predictors, with survival compared by fatigue severity.
resultsSevere fatigue was present in 32% of patients, associated significantly with female gender (p = 0.009), comorbidity (p = 0.02), severe anxiety (p < 0.0001), and severe depression (p < 0.0001), but not with age or most clinical variables. Quality of life was moderately reduced, particularly in functional well-being. Patients with mild fatigue had longer median survival (19 vs. 11 months; p = 0.028). Fatigue severity independently predicted survival (HR = 0.597, p = 0.033).
conclusionCRF is common in advanced gastric cancer and strongly linked to psychological distress and comorbidity. Severe fatigue correlates with lower quality of life and shorter survival, indicating the need for targeted strategies addressing both fatigue and mental health.
