Home-Based Physical Activity in Patients With Breast Cancer: During and/or After Chemotherapy? Impact on Cardiorespiratory Fitness. A 3-Arm Randomized Controlled Trial (APAC).
Trial report in Integrative cancer therapies. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01795612 (Adapted Physical Activity Effect on Aerobic Function and Fatigue at Home in Patients With Breast Cancer Treated in Adjuvant or Neoadjuvant Phase), which is not on this map. Cited by 19 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.

Abstract
objectivesPhysical activity (PA) programs are recommended for breast cancer care. However, their modalities remain to be discussed. This study determined the best time to begin a personalized or adapted program based on cardiopulmonary exercise test function. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effect of home-based adapted PA (APA) performed during or after treatment on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) at 12 months.
methodThe primary endpoint was the peak oxygen consumption (VO
resultsThe study assessed 81 participants at 6 months and 73 at 12 months. The majority of patients completed more than 85% of the exercise sessions. The baseline for VO
conclusionHome-based APA in breast cancer patients has a positive effect on CRF and physical functions, with no differences based on the timing of this program based on specific cancer treatment.
