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

Sepsis survivors frequently experience prolonged fatigue, which impacts their quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the effects of the program reducing fatigue among sepsis survivors. This single-blind randomized controlled trial included 68 sepsis survivors at a tertiary hospital in Bangkok. Participants were randomized into experimental (n = 34) and control (n = 34) groups and evaluated at three time points: baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks into the program. The experimental group received a 4-week program involving exercise, mindfulness, nutritional education, and sleep hygiene via the Line application. Fatigue was measured using the Piper Fatigue Scale-12 (PFS-12). Statistical analysis was performed using repeated measures analysis of variance. Baseline fatigue scores did not significantly differ between the groups. The experimental group had a significantly lower mean score for fatigue in week 4 than at baseline (F = 1510.790, p < 0.001). Between-group comparisons showed significant differences in fatigue scores at all time points, particularly in week 4 (F = 1003.66, p < 0.001 and F = 527.695, p < 0.001, respectively). However, the experimental group had a lower mean fatigue score than the control group. The 4-week program significantly reduced fatigue among sepsis survivors.Trial registration: Thai Clinical Trials Registry https//www.thaiclinicaltrials.org/show/TCTR20240329002.
