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

backgroundColorectal cancer decrease quality of life, due to treatment and disease, and physical exercise can improve the quality of life of patients with cancer, but it is still uncertain whether physical exercise can improve quality of life in these patients.

aimTo determine if there is an improvement in the quality of life in patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer undergoing physical exercise.

methodsA systematic literature review was carried out; non-randomized clinical trials of any year were included from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and VHL platforms, without specific language delimitation, and analyzed the influence of physical exercise on the quality of life of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and for analysis of bias, the Cochrane Manual for the Development of Systematic Intervention Reviews was used.

resultsFour studies were analyzed in full to produce the results; of these, three intervened with unsupervised aerobic exercises and one with semi-supervised aerobic exercises, all used the FACT-C as a questionnaire to assess quality of life, some even used FACT-G and/or SF-12, and only one author found significance values in the variables of physical well-being, emotional well-being, and functional well-being of the questionnaire, compared with the control group.

conclusionThere were no significant increases in the quality of life of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer compared with the control group.
