1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo determine if the effects of exercise-based cancer rehabilitation on physical functioning, activity (including physical activity) and participation (including quality of life) are maintained at 6 to 12 months.

methodsElectronic databases CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO and PubMed were searched from the earliest available time to August 2021. Randomised controlled trials examining the long-term effects (≥ 6 months post-intervention) of exercise-based rehabilitation were eligible for inclusion. Outcome data (e.g. fitness, physical activity, walking capacity, fatigue, depression, quality of life) were extracted and the methodological quality assessed using PEDro. Meta-analyses using standardised mean differences were used to synthesise data and Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation criteria were applied.

resultsNineteen randomised controlled trials including 2974 participants were included. Participants who underwent exercise-based rehabilitation had improved physical activity (SMD 0.30, 95% CI 0.09 to 0.51, I

conclusionHealth outcomes of cancer survivors after exercise-based rehabilitation can be maintained after rehabilitation completion. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Cancer survivors can maintain health benefits achieved through exercise-based rehabilitation.
