Circadian actigraphic rest-activity rhythms following surgery for endometrial cancer: A prospective, longitudinal study.
Article in Gynecologic oncology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
objectiveTo investigate (1) circadian rest-activity rhythm disturbances among endometrial cancer patients as they recover from surgery in comparison to a historical reference group of women with no cancer history and (2) health- and treatment-related predictors of dysregulated rest-activity rhythms in endometrial cancer patients.
methods60 endometrial cancer patients participated in a prospective, longitudinal study with actigraphic assessment at 1week, 1month, and 4months post-surgery. 60 women without cancer from an epidemiological sample completed one actigraphic assessment, acting as a reference group.
resultsOn average, results revealed initial significant rest-activity dysregulation at 1week and 1month post-surgery for the endometrial cancer group and then significant recovery in rest-activity patterns at 4months post-surgery. Similarly, the cancer group had significantly more impaired rhythms than the reference group at 1week post-surgery, but demonstrated comparable rhythms by 4months post-surgery. Among the health- and treatment-related variables examined, obesity and receipt of more invasive surgery were found to predict more impaired rhythms at all time points. CONCLUSION(S): The current study highlights significant disturbances in rest-activity patterns for endometrial cancer patients initially during surgical recovery followed by improvement in these patterns by 4months post-surgery; however, obese patients and those having more invasive surgery demonstrated more impaired rest-activity patterns throughout the 4-month recovery period. Further research is warranted to understand how more impaired rest-activity patterns relate to health and quality of life outcomes.
