Cancer treatment fatigue and nutritional awareness in cancer patients: a latent profile analysis and predictors.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Cancer requires long-term treatment, which imposes significant energy expenditure on the body, often exacerbating cancer-related fatigue among patients. Previous studies, adopting a variable-centered approach, have confirmed the relationship between cancer-related fatigue and nutrition management but have overlooked the relationship between cancer treatment fatigue and nutritional awareness, as well as their heterogeneity. Methods: From July to August 2025, we recruited 570 cancer patients using convenience sampling and employed latent profile analysis, single-variable analysis, and multivariable logistic regression to investigate the heterogeneity of cancer treatment fatigue and nutritional awareness, along with their influencing factors. Participants responded to measurement items related to variables such as cancer treatment fatigue, nutritional awareness, death anxiety, and cancer-specific loneliness, as well as provided necessary sociodemographic information. Results: Three profiles were identified: (1) High Cancer Treatment Fatigue-Low Nutritional Awareness (14.6%), characterized by severe fatigue and minimal attention to diet; (2) Moderate Cancer Treatment Fatigue-Moderate Nutritional Awareness (68.2%) as the largest and relatively balanced group; and (3) Low Cancer Treatment fatigue-High Nutritional awareness (17.2%), showing adaptive physical and behavioral traits. Younger age, lower education, smoking, and alcohol use were associated with membership in the high-fatigue/low-awareness group ( Conclusion: Distinct fatigue-nutrition coexistence patterns were demonstrated in oncology patients, suggesting that fatigue severity is closely intertwined with nutritional awareness. These findings provide evidence for incorporating personalized nutritional counseling and psychological fatigue-management programs into integrative cancer care to improve quality of life and treatment adherence.
