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

objectiveAlthough studies have shown that physical activity (PA) can reduce some treatment-related side effects of breast cancer, there is a need to offer PA programs outside of research settings to reach more cancer survivors. We partnered with the American Cancer Society's Reach to Recovery (RTR) program to train their volunteers (breast cancer survivors) to deliver a 12-week PA intervention to other breast cancer survivors.

methodWe conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare the PA intervention delivered by RTR volunteers (PA plus RTR) with contact control (RTR control). Eighteen RTR volunteers/coaches (Mage = 54.9 years; Mtime since diagnosis = 7.0 years) delivered the contact control condition or the PA intervention. Seventy-six breast cancer survivors in New England (Mage = 55.6 years; Mtime since diagnosis = 1.1 years) were randomized to 1 of the 2 groups. At baseline, 12 weeks (postintervention), and at 24 weeks, participants wore an accelerometer for 7 days, were interviewed about their PA, and reported their motivational readiness for PA.

resultsAdjusted, mixed-effects longitudinal regression models showed significant group differences favoring the PA plus RTR group in minutes of moderate to vigorous PA at 12 weeks (Mdifference = 103 min/week, p < .001) and at 24 weeks (Mdifference = 34.7 min/week, p = .03). Results were corroborated with significant group differences in accelerometer data favoring the PA plus RTR group at both time points.

conclusionPeer volunteers were able to significantly increase PA among cancer survivors relative to contact control. Partnerships with existing volunteer programs can help to widen the reach of behavioral interventions among cancer survivors. (PsycINFO Database Record
