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

backgroundPhysical activity (PA) is a modifiable health behaviour in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Knowing the possible predictors of PA will contribute to producing physical and psychological benefits for CRC patients.

objectiveTo investigate the factors that influence PA in patients with CRC.

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted with 47 participants with CRC. Demographic and clinical characteristics, neuropathic pain (Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4)), peripheral muscle strength (knee extensor and flexor, hip extensor and flexor, and ankle dorsiflexor muscle strength), balance (Balance Master System (BMS) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS)), fatigue (Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI)), PA (International PA Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF)), and quality of life (36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)) were evaluated. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the variables that have the greatest influence on PA.

resultsIPAQ-SF score had moderate correlations with knee extensor muscle strength (r = 0.310, p = 0.034), BBS (r = 0.361, p = 0.013), and limit of stability test (movement velocity) score (r = 0.385, p = 0.008), BFI- severity of fatigue (r = - 0.488, p = 0.001), impact of fatigue on daily functioning (r = - 0.421, p = 0.003), and the SF-36 sub-parameters (role limitations due to physical health problems, physical functioning, general health perceptions and vitality) (p < 0.05). Role limitations due to physical problems, knee extensor muscle strength, and severity of fatigue had the greatest influence on PA in patients with CRC with explaining 43% of the variance in PA.

conclusionsThis study suggests that quality of life, knee extensor muscle strength, and fatigue have the greatest influence on PA in patients with CRC.
