Aerobic and resistance exercise improve patient-reported sleep quality and is associated with cardiometabolic biomarkers in Hispanic and non-Hispanic breast cancer survivors who are overweight or obese: results from a secondary analysis.
Article in Sleep, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01140282 (Combined Exercise Program for Early Breast Cancer Survivors), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 papers, 6 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.

Abstract
STUDY
objectivesPoor sleep quality affects nearly one-third of breast cancer survivors and is associated with insulin resistance. The purpose of this secondary analysis was to examine the effects of a 16-week exercise intervention on patient-reported sleep quality among breast cancer survivors and assess whether changes in patient-reported sleep quality were associated with cardiometabolic biomarkers. We explored Hispanic ethnicity as a moderator of the effects of exercise on patient-reported sleep quality.
methodsBreast cancer survivors who were overweight or obese were randomized to exercise (n = 50) or usual care (n = 50). The 16-week intervention included aerobic and resistance exercise. Patient-reported sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI]) and biomarkers of cardiometabolic health were assessed at baseline and post-intervention. Within- and between-group differences were assessed using general linear models repeated-measures analyses of variance and mixed-model repeated-measure analysis, respectively. Associations between changes in PSQI and cardiometabolic biomarkers were computed using Pearson correlations. Linear mixed-models were used to evaluate effect modification by ethnicity.
resultsParticipants were 52 ± 10.4 years old, and over half were of Hispanic ethnicity. As compared to usual care, PSQI global scores improved significantly in the exercise group (mean between-group difference -2.2; 95% CI -3.2 to -0.6). Change in PSQI was inversely associated with changes in all cardiometabolic biomarkers (p < 0.01) among the exercise group. Ethnicity was found to moderate the effects of exercise training on global sleep quality (p < 0.001).
conclusionsAn aerobic and resistance exercise intervention effectively improved patient-reported sleep quality in breast cancer survivors. Hispanic ethnicity as a moderator showed greater improvement in patient-reported sleep indicating Hispanic versus non-Hispanic breast cancer survivors may derive larger sleep benefits.
