The association between self-reported physical activity and prevalence of depression and anxiety disorder in long-term survivors of testicular cancer and men in a general population sample.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
goals of workPhysical activity is claimed to have a beneficial influence on a person's mental health, though its impact may be different in cancer patients and individuals in the general population. The objective of this cross-sectional study was (1) to estimate the associations between the level of self-reported physical activity as a lifestyle factor (LPA) and the prevalence of depression and anxiety disorder in testicular cancer survivors (TCSs) and in men of similar age from the general population (GenPop), and (2) to examine whether these associations differ in the two groups. PATIENTS AND
methodA total of 1260 TCSs and 20,207 men from the GenPop completed a questionnaire that assessed LPA, and depression and anxiety disorder on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). MAIN
resultsThe prevalence of HADS-defined depression was lower among those who were physically active than in those who were physically inactive (TCSs 9% vs 17%, P<0.001; GenPop 8% vs 15%, P<0.001). Among physically inactive TCSs there was a trend towards higher a prevalence of HADS-defined anxiety disorder compared to physically active TCSs (P=0.07). In the GenPop this difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed the association between LPA and HADS-defined depression in both the TCSs [adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=0.56; 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.31, 1.02)] and the GenPop [aOR=0.58; 95% CI (0.51, 0.65)], but not the association between LPA and HADS-defined anxiety disorder. The associations between LPA and HADS-defined depression and HADS-defined anxiety disorder did not differ between the TCSs and the GenPop.
conclusionIn both the TCSs and the GenPop, the prevalence of HADS-defined depression was higher among those who were physically inactive than among those who were physically active, with no intergroup difference. There was no association between LPA and prevalence of HADS-defined anxiety disorder in either of the groups after adjusting for background variables. Prospective studies are needed to allow causal inferences to be drawn.
