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

purposeThis study used contemporaneous networks and cross-lagged panel network (CLPN) to examine how the Simplified Sitting Badunjin (SSBDJ) intervention interacted with the fatigue, sleep disturbances, and quality of life (QoL) at different follow-up stages in advanced cancer patients.

methodsThis was a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial. Data were collected at baseline (T0), 4 weeks (T1), 8 weeks (T2), 12 weeks (T3) of the intervention, and 4 weeks (T4) after the intervention. A total of 3 constructs with 16 dimensions (fatigue severity, fatigue interference, sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, daytime dysfunction, physical discomfort, food related concerns, healthcare concerns, support, negative emotions, existential distress, sense of alienation, value of life) were included in the symptom network, which consists of contemporaneous and cross-lagged panel networks.

resultsA total of 175 participants were included in the network analysis. Within the contemporaneous network, "Fatigue interference" emerged as the central symptom in both the intervention and control groups (intervention group: EI value = 1.249 (T1), 2.610 (T2); control group: EI value = 1.462 (T1), 1.950 (T2)). In the longitudinal network analysis, SSBDJ was strongly negatively associated with fatigue severity and interference at T0 → T1 (β = -0.497, -0.504) and T1 → T2 (β = -0.210, -0.256). Additionally, fatigue consistently served as a central node within the networks, demonstrating the highest out-expected influence across 12-week intervention period. The impact of fatigue (out-EI: r = 2.641) on sleep disturbances and quality of life tended to exert independent influence in the mid stage of intervention (T2 → T3). Furthermore, fatigue (out-predictability: r = 1.993) remained a dominant predictor of sleep disturbances and quality of life even after the intervention (T3 → T4).

conclusionThis study enhances the understanding of the longitudinal relationships between the SSBDJ intervention, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and QoL among patients with advanced cancer. It could provide an important insight for designing precise symptom management strategies in mind-body exercise interventions among this population.
