Physiologic and psychologic adaptation to exercise interventions in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Synthesis in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe purpose of this meta-analysis is to investigate the effectiveness of exercise interventions in patients with lung cancer (LC) during chemotherapy regarding physiological and psychological outcomes.
methodsDatabases including MEDLINE and EMBASE were used to find relevant randomized controlled trails that explored outcomes of exercise interventions for patients with LC during chemotherapy up to June 2020. Effect sizes were calculated by standardized mean difference statistics.
resultsSix studies were included that involved 244 participants with average age of 65 years. Patients with LC participating in exercise interventions during chemotherapy had significantly increased strength, forced expired volume, and quality of life as well as significantly decreased pain. Effective exercise intervention characteristics were combined aerobic and resistance exercise, performance more than 5 times a week, moderate to vigorous intensity, and 1-h sessions.
conclusionSupervised participation in exercise improves strength, forced expired volume, and quality of life and relieves pain and depression during chemotherapy.
