Effects of Exercise Training on Physical Fitness and Biomarker Levels in Breast Cancer Survivors.
Review in Journal of lifestyle medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundExercise has been identified as a beneficial intervention to enhance quality of life in breast cancer survivors. In addition, there has been a noteworthy increase in studies emphasizing the benefits of exercise in cancer. We sought to summarize the empirical literature concerning the effects of exercise on physical fitness and biomarker levels in breast cancer survivors according to the type of exercise.
methodsWe searched PubMed and PubMed Central for studies on the association of exercise with the levels of various biomarkers and physical fitness in breast cancer survivors. We investigated the effects of different types of exercise (aerobic, resistance, or combined) on breast cancer survivors, with changes in physical fitness and biomarker levels as the primary outcomes.
resultsIn total, 118 research papers published from 2012 to July 2016 were retrieved from PubMed and PubMed Central. Of these, 24 papers met our inclusion criteria. All types of exercise were found to improve physical fitness in breast cancer survivors. However, the results with regard to biomarkers were controversial.
conclusionThe findings of this review suggest that combined exercise is associated with better outcomes than aerobic or resistance exercise alone in breast cancer survivors.
