A latent profile analysis of cancer-related fatigue in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy and its relationship with quality of life: a cross-sectional study.

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
Introduction: The identification of classes of cancer-related fatigue in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy is crucial for the implementation of individualized intervention measures. This study aims to determine the demographic and clinical characteristics of each profile through latent profile analysis, and particularly examines the association between different profiles of cancer-related fatigue and the quality of life (QoL) of patients. Methods: Patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy for Department of Medical Oncology at a tertiary general hospital in Northwest China between April and August 2023 were recruited using convenience sampling. Employed the General Data Questionnaire, the Cancer Fatigue Scale, and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast Scale to measure cancer-related fatigue and QoL. Latent profile analysis was performed to identify potential classifications of cancer-related fatigue. Univariable and multivariate logistic analysis were used to determine associated influencing factors. Results: Three latent profiles of cancer-related fatigue were identified: low physical and cognitive fatigue-high emotional fatigue group (24.4%), moderate fatigue group (39.2%), and high physical and cognitive fatigue-low emotional fatigue group (36.4%). Multivariate logistic analysis identified average daily step count during the past week ≤ 4,999 steps ( Conclusions: There are different characteristic groups of cancer-related fatigue in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Medical staff can formulate personalized intervention plans based on the different types of fatigue characteristics of patients to enhance their QoL.
