Aerobic exercise as additive palliative treatment for a patient with advanced hepatocellular cancer.
Article in Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Aerobic exercise is known to improve biopsychosocial outcomes in cancer patients. Currently, exercise is not regarded as a quality-of-life intervention for patients with advanced cancer. The aim of this case study was to determine the feasibility and effects of an aerobic exercise programme for a patient with advanced hepatocellular cancer. After written informed consent, a 55-year-old male patient with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma participated in an aerobic exercise programme of precise intensity, duration and frequency, consisting of ergometer cycling 2 times a week, carried out for a period of 6 weeks. Exercise testing and a 6-min walk were performed, and the patient's quality of life was assessed. The feasibility, safety and beneficial effects of the programme were proven for this patient. At the end of the exercise programme, peak work capacity had increased by 20.3%. The patient has experienced an improvement in physical performance, which was underlined by the 6-min walk. Quality of life has been improved (physical functioning, vitality, mental health, role functioning/emotional, social functioning). Knowledge about the benefits of aerobic exercise for patients suffering from advanced cancer is not yet widespread. Nevertheless, aerobic exercise initiated and executed with appropriate care may serve as a useful additional means of palliative treatment in some patients with advanced cancer.
