Exercise in African American and White Colorectal Cancer Survivors: A Mixed Methods Approach.
Article in Rehabilitation oncology (American Physical Therapy Association. Oncology Section), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundAfrican-American (AA) colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors tend to be more obese and less physically active compared to white survivors. PURPOSE/
objectiveTo test the feasibility of an aerobic exercise program as well as explore perceptions about supervised exercise among AA CRC survivors.
methodsA prospective supervised exercise intervention performed on a cycle ergometer 2 days/week for 12 weeks. Peak (VO
designProspective case series and qualitative interview.
settingResearch university and academic medical center. PATIENTS: African American and white colorectal cancer survivors.
resultsLIMITATIONS: Small sample size.
conclusionsRecruiting CRC survivors (regardless of race) into an exercise program is challenging, however, there are exercise and QoL benefits associated with participation. Barriers to exercise are similar between AA and white CRC survivors.
