Trial reportPsycho-oncology2018
A randomized dose-response trial of aerobic exercise and health-related quality of life in colon cancer survivors.
Trial report in Psycho-oncology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 60 papers, 17 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
objectiveTo examine the dose-response effects of aerobic exercise on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among colon cancer survivors.
methodsThirty-nine stage I to III colon cancer survivors were randomized to 1 of 3 groups: usual-care control, 150 min·wk
resultsOver 6 months, the low-dose group completed 141 ± 10 min·wk
conclusionHigher doses of aerobic exercise, up to 300 min·wk
