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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe present study aimed to determine the level of physical activity (PA) among prostate cancer (PCa) patients across treatment modalities and explore the association between PA and treatment-induced adverse effects (AEs).

methodsThe present study was based on a cross-sectional postal survey among members of the Norwegian Prostate Cancer Association. Patients were eligible for the present study if they had either (1) completed radical prostatectomy, (2) completed radiotherapy and (neo)-adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), or (3) were undergoing lifelong ADT. Adverse effects were measured by the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite for Clinical Practice.

resultsIn total, 696 patients were included. There was no statistically significant difference in level of PA across treatment modalities. Bowel symptoms mainly related to radiotherapy decreased the odds of exercising ≥ 2 times per week, along with age ≥ 70 years, participation in the workforce, and BMI ≥ 25 kg/m

conclusionThe level of PA did not differ across PCa patients treated with different modalities. Increasing bowel symptoms reduced the likelihood of exercising ≥ 2 times per week. PCa patients should be educated about possible treatment-induced AEs affecting PA level, enabling them to counteract the development of physical inactivity.
