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

purposeIt has not previously been shown whether there is any benefit to multi-morbid patients with lung cancer who participate in complex interdisciplinary rehabilitation programmes after primary therapy. The purpose of this prospective study was to assess changes in exercise capacity and quality of life before and after an in-patient training programme. PATIENTS AND

methodsForty-five patients with lung cancer (WHO I-III after surgery and/or radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy) were enrolled in a 28-day in-patient rehabilitation programme that included standardised aerobic training. Functional status and health-related quality of life (QLQ-C30, QLQ-LC13, SF-36, and MFI-20) were examined at the beginning of the study and at day 28.

resultsA substantial increase in work performance (bicycle ergometry from 68 +/- 3 to 86 +/- 4 W, p < 0.001, and 6-minute walk test from 322 +/- 11 to 385 +/- 13 m, p < 0.001) was registered. In addition, heart rate at rest was reduced (from 84 +/- 2 to 80 +/- 1 beats per minute, p < 0.05) and heart rate variability (indicator of the efficacy of endurance training) was significantly increased (from 9.7 +/- 1 to 12.9 +/- 1 root mean square of successive differences, p < 0.001). Moreover, there was also a significant improvement in quality of life (48 +/- 3 to 62 +/- 2, p < 0.001) while fatigue was reduced from 66 +/- 3 to 41 +/- 4, p < 0.001.

conclusionA standardised, aerobic endurance training programme as part of the in-patient oncological rehabilitation of patients with lung cancer results in improvements in both physiological and psychological parameters after therapy. A follow-on study in order to determine to what extent this benefit persists over the long-term, particularly, in comparison with patients who have not participated in a rehabilitation programme, is currently being conducted.
