Utilisation of Non-pharmacological Interventions for Management of Cancer-related Fatigue in Palliative Care Services - An Audit Cycle.
Article in Indian journal of palliative care. 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
Objectives: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a debilitating symptom that significantly affects the quality of life of patients with cancer. Effective management requires accurate documentation and timely implementation of non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs), which are considered first-line strategies. This study aimed to assess the documentation of CRF and NPIs in palliative care and evaluate the impact of a standardized operating procedure (SOP) on documentation compliance. The aim of the study is to assess the documentation of CRF and NPIs in palliative care and evaluate the impact of implementing a standardised operating procedure (SOP) on documentation compliance. Materials and Methods: A retrospective audit was conducted in two phases: pre-multidisciplinary team (MDT) induction and post-MDT induction, followed by a re-audit after six months. Documentation rates for CRF and NPIs were statistically analysed, and associated symptom clusters were identified using Epi Info software (Version 7.6.2). Results: CRF documentation improved from 67% in 2021 to 84% in 2022, and further to 98.5% (February 2023) and 89.3% (March 2023) and 96.7% (September 2023). NPI documentation increased from 0% in 2021 to 36% in 2022, and subsequently to 86.5%, 89.9%, and 86.5% in re-audits. Significant symptom clusters associated with CRF included loss of appetite ( Conclusion: Implementation of an SOP significantly improved CRF and NPI documentation. Identification of key symptom clusters provides important insights for targeted interventions and future research in palliative care.
