Correlations among traditional Chinese medicine constitutions, sleep quality, and cancer-related fatigue in patients with breast cancer.

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: To investigate the status of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) constitution, sleep quality, and Cancer-Related Fatigue (CRF) in breast cancer (BC) patients and explore the relationships among these three factors, thereby providing a basis for reducing the level of CRF in individuals with BC. Methods: BC patients were enrolled from two Tertiary Level-A Hospitals in Shandong Province, China, using convenience sampling. Data were collected using the General Information Questionnaire, the Self-Measurement Scale for the Classification and Determination of TCM constitutions, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS). Results: A total of 320 breast cancer patients were included, predominantly exhibiting unbalanced constitutions (72.19%). Correlation analysis indicated that a balanced constitution was negatively associated with cancer-related fatigue (CRF) ( Conclusions: The level of CRF in patients with BC is moderate and multifactorial. Therefore, medical personnel can alleviate CRF by addressing patients' unbalanced constitutions to improve sleep quality.
