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

Objective: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is highly prevalent among breast cancer survivors. This study aimed to identify CRF subgroups in breast cancer survivors using latent profile analysis (LPA) and to examine the effects of rumination on CRF through anxiety, depression, and fear of cancer recurrence. Method: A total of 201 women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer completed standardized assessments of fear of cancer recurrence, rumination, anxiety, depression, and cancer-related fatigue. Latent profile analysis was conducted to identify distinct CRF profiles, and differences in psychological variables across groups were examined. Mediation analyses were performed using the PROCESS macro with bootstrapping (5,000 samples) to test indirect effects. Results: LPA identified three distinct profiles: low (50.2%), moderate (37.3%), and high (12.4%). The model demonstrated excellent classification quality (entropy=0.80; average posterior probabilities=0.89-0.93). Participants in the high-CRF group reported significantly higher levels of rumination, anxiety, depression, and fear of recurrence than those in the other two groups (all p<0.001, η Conclusion: The findings suggest that fear of recurrence, anxiety, and depression may increase vulnerability to CRF. The results also underscore the importance of targeting transdiagnostic processes such as rumination in psychological interventions for breast cancer survivors.
