Effects of reallocating sedentary time with physical activity on quality of life indicators in breast cancer survivors.
Article in Psycho-oncology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
objectivesPhysical activity is associated with better quality of life (QOL) among breast cancer survivors. However, it is unknown the extent to which time spent sedentary or replacing this time with active behaviors may affect QOL. Our aim was to determine the effect of substituting time between sedentary and active behaviors on QOL indicators in breast cancer survivors.
methodsAn isotemporal substitution approach was used to examine the associations of reallocating time to sedentary and active behaviors measured by accelerometry with Functional Assessment of Cancer Treatment-Breast (FACT-B; total, physical, social, emotional, functional well-being, and breast cancer-specific concerns) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores in a pooled analysis of breast cancer survivors (n = 753; M
resultsReallocating 30 minutes of sedentary time to 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) was associated with improved FACT-B total (B = 3.0; 95% CI, 0.6-4.5), physical well-being (B = 0.8; 95% CI, 0.33-1.2), and functional well-being (B = 0.6; 95% CI, 0.03-1.2) scores. Reallocating 30 minutes of light activity to 30 minutes of MVPA was associated with improved FACT-B total (B = 2.4; 95% CI, 0.3-6.0) and physical well-being (B = 0.72; 95% CI, 0.27-1.2) scores. There was no significant substitution of time effects on HADS scores.
conclusionsSubstituting sedentary time with MVPA showed the greatest range of effects across QOL indicators. These results can inform intervention development interventions and more comprehensive activity recommendations for breast cancer survivors.
