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
introductionOlder patients with myeloid neoplasms (MN) receiving outpatient chemotherapy are at risk of experiencing treatment-related toxicities such as functional decline. A mobile health (mHealth) exercise intervention may ameliorate these toxicities. This qualitative study aimed to inform the design of a mHealth exercise intervention for this population.
methodsThis was a qualitative study of thirteen patients aged ≥60 years receiving hypomethylating agents for MN. EXCAP©® is a home-based walking and progressive resistance exercise program. We combined EXCAP©® with a mobile app; the combination (GO-EXCAP Mobile App) has not been previously tested. A brief verbal description about the intervention was provided to the participants but they did not perform it. Participants were interviewed and inductive thematic analysis was used to analyze the data.
resultsMean age was 71.6 (SD 8.5). Three themes were identified: 1) Perceptions of the intervention feasibility, 2) Ways to leverage the app to deliver the exercise intervention, and 3) Personalized exercise goals. Walking and resistance exercises were perceived to be feasible. Patients were comfortable initiating the intervention in cycle 2 of chemotherapy, with exercise increments occurring from week 2-4 of the cycle. Ways to leverage the app to deliver EXCAP©® include 1) Video feature for exercise demonstration and interactions, and 2) Exercise data and symptom surveys to be communicated to the exercise physiologist and primary oncology team. Preservation of existing function and activity was an important goal to participants.
conclusionsOur findings provide insights about the preferences of older adults with MN for a mHealth exercise intervention.
