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

backgroundHerein, we propose a novel RCT study to collect preliminary data on the impact of a 24-week home-based exercise program that can improve prognosis, physical function, and quality of life (QoL) in men with prostate cancer (PCa). This study will provide data on the feasibility of conducting a home-based exercise study and pilot data on the impact of exercise on circulating concentrations of biomarkers reported in the literature to be beneficial for the prognostication of PCa. METHODS/

designThirty male patients, clinically-diagnosed with prostate cancer under active surveillance, will be recruited to participate in a 2-arm, 24-week home-based program DISCUSSION: This study should demonstrate preliminary evidence that a home-based exercise intervention can impact biomarkers of progression while improving quality of life, physical function and body composition. Results from this study have the potential to promote health and wellness while minimizing cancer progression in men with PCa.
