Effect of a Home-based Walking Intervention on Cardiopulmonary Fitness and Quality of Life Among Men with Prostate Cancer on Active Surveillance: The Active Surveillance Exercise Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in European urology oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 13 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundActive surveillance (AS) is standard care for most men with low-risk prostate cancer (PC); yet, many men on AS eventually undergo curative therapy. Interventions to lower the risk of cancer progression and fear of recurrence among men on AS for PC are needed.
objectiveTo determine the effect of aerobic exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness, body size, and quality of life (QOL) among men on AS for PC. DESIGN, SETTING, AND
participantsWe conducted a 1:1 randomized controlled trial among 51 men with low-risk PC who elected AS. Participants were enrolled at the University of California, San Francisco.
interventionThe 16-wk intervention included a home-based walking program with a nonlinear exercise prescription tailored to baseline fitness level, heart rate monitor, and weekly phone call with an exercise physiologist. Controls received printed materials. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Cardiorespiratory fitness was measured using VO RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Between 2016 and 2021, we randomized 51 men to intervention (n = 26) or control (n = 25). Follow-up was 88% (45/51), 85% (22/26) in the intervention and 92% (23/25) in the control group. At 16 wk, the intervention group had a higher mean VO
conclusionsA home-based walking program improved VO PATIENT SUMMARY: Moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise improves fitness and quality of life among men on active surveillance for prostate cancer.
