Association between physical activity and patient-reported outcome measures in patients with lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 4 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 aim of this systematic review was to examine the association between physical activity (PA) and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) as well as other Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) in patients with lung cancer. MATERIAL AND
methodsA systematic search was conducted using the following databases: PUBMED, MEDLINE(Ovid), Cochrane Library Plus, Web Of Science (WOS), SCOPUS, SPORTDiscus and PEDro. The last search was conducted in October the 5
resultsThe electronic search yielded 1,000 records of which 23 were finally selected by two independent reviewers. Moderate associations were found between engaging in PA and global HRQoL (r = 0.41; 95% CI: 0.21 - 0.57; p < .0001) as well as depression (r = -0.33; 95% CI: -0.44, -0.19; p < .001). In addition, small assocaitions were also reported for fatigue (r = -0.23; 95% CI: -0.3, -0.17; p < .001) and dyspnoea (r = -0.25; 95% CI: -0.33, -0.16; p < .001). No significant associations were found for anxiety or sleep.
conclusionsAlthough the majority of the studies included some risk of bias, engaging in regular PA seems to be associated with better overall HRQoL, mood and less symptom burden in patients with LC.
