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
introductionEarly mobilization after cancer surgery is generally recommended. However, the effects of postoperative resistance exercise during a hospital stay have been rarely investigated. This study aimed to clarify the effects of resistance exercise after laparoscopic surgery on exercise tolerance and skeletal muscle mass in geriatric patients with gastrointestinal cancer.
methodsThis single-center retrospective observational study included patients with gastrointestinal cancer who admitted for laparoscopic surgery. Exercise tolerance and skeletal muscle mass were assessed using a six-minute walking test (6MWT) and skeletal muscle index (SMI) at admission and discharge, respectively. Intergroup comparisons of absolute changes in 6MWT and SMI were analyzed by the unpaired t-test or Mann-Whitney U test according to whether resistance exercise was performed or not. Multivariable linear regression analyses were used to analyze the association of resistance exercise with changes in 6MWT and SMI. The analyses were adjusted for age, sex, cancer stage, postoperative complication, and preoperative exercise tolerance and skeletal muscle mass.
resultsAltogether, 66 patients (mean age 69.9 years; 60.6% men) were recruited. Of them, 72.7% performed the resistance exercise and started at a median of 4.5 postoperative days. There were no significant intergroup differences in absolute changes in the 6MWT and the SMI (p = 0.153, p = 0.476, respectively). Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that resistance exercise was independently and positively associated with the 6MWT at discharge (
conclusionResistance exercise may enhance the improvement in postoperative exercise tolerance in geriatric patients with gastrointestinal cancer who underwent laparoscopic surgery.
