Effects of dance therapy in women with breast cancer: A systematic review protocol.
Article in PloS one, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundCancer is an important public health problem with an increasing global incidence in the recent decades. Breast cancer has become the leading cause of death in women worldwide. Women suffering from breast cancer, as well as survivors, may experience some adverse effects of treatment-including cancer-related fatigue, sleep disorders, and pain-which may manifest alone or in combination with other symptoms. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as physical activity, have been associated with improvements in these adverse effects. This study aims to evaluate the effects of dance therapy in women with breast cancer.
methodsWe will perform a systematic review according to the Cochrane methodology. An overall search strategy will be developed and adapted for PubMed, Virtual Health Library, PEDro, SciELO, SciVerse Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science using the descriptors "Dance therapy" or "Dancing" and "Breast neoplasms" or "Breast cancer." The size of the intervention effect (Z) will be calculated for each outcome included in this review. Outcomes will be pain, cancer-related fatigue, sleep disturbance, body image and depression in women with breast cancer. Quality assessment will be performed using the Cochrane instrument. Metanalysis, if plausible, will be performed using Review Manager 5.3. DISCUSSION: Studies have reported positive results of dance therapy as a non-pharmacological intervention in women with breast cancer. Thus, it is expected that robust and conclusive evidence of the effects of dance therapy during or after treatment (radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and/or surgery) can be obtained.
