Review in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02439112 (Early Initiated Individualized Physical Training in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients; Effects on Physical Function, Physical Activity, Quality of Life, Pain, and Bone Disease.), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

introductionCancer-treatment induced bone loss and associated fracture risk is a growing concern for cancer survivors. Exercise offers a non-pharmacologic strategy for preserving bone health during and after treatment, but only until recently has it been studied for its efficacy and safety in cancer survivors. The purpose of this review is to provide an early qualitative evaluation of exercise trials in adult cancer survivors with bone health as a primary or secondary endpoint.

methodsDatabases were searched for exercise trials in adult cancer survivors that reported data on bone health (bone mineral density (BMD) and/or bone remodeling markers) as an outcome measure and were published and indexed prior to January 1st, 2010. Data relevant to evaluation of study design, sample, exercise protocol, bone health assessment, statistical approach and findings were extracted, summarized and interpreted.

resultsEight trials were identified that met criteria for inclusion in the review. While most studies were conducted in breast cancer survivors, remaining study attributes including rigor, design, exercise program characteristics and length varied considerably across studies. Only three of the eight studies were controlled exercise trials with usual care control groups. Of these, two reported significant group x time interactions where aerobic exercise preserved BMD at the spine or whole body compared to losses in controls and none reported exercise benefits at the hip.

conclusionsThe recent emergence of exercise studies in cancer survivors with bone outcomes highlights the importance of this area of cancer survivorship. Collectively, the studies are limited in number and are too varied to warrant conclusions regarding the skeletal benefits of exercise during or after cancer treatment, though early results are encouraging and more rigorous study should follow.
