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.

Abstract

Background: Physical activity improves health and psychosocial functioning for people who have been diagnosed with cancer. Native Hawaiians face disparities for some cancers, including breast cancer. Delivering culturally grounded interventions has the potential to improve enjoyment and adherence to the intervention. We sought to test the adherence and impact of a 6 month randomized wait-list controlled trial of hula. Methods: In this randomized wait-list controlled design people who had been diagnosed with breast or gynecologic cancers were invited to participate with other cancer survivors in a group based setting. Participants were randomized to begin hula immediately or after six months. Attendance was collected and heart-rate measured three times per session. In addition, demographic data, self-report psychosocial data, and biological data (findings will be reported elsewhere) were collected at three time points: baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. The study included six months of hula, twice per week, 60 min each session. In addition, participants committed to practice 60 min per week at home. Results: Participants in the study ( Conclusion: Sustainable physical activity is crucial to improve both the survival and quality of life of cancer survivors. Culturally grounded interventions, such as hula have the potential to increase the maintenance of physical activity. In addition, they create a support group where the benefits of people who have all experienced cancer can gather and garner those benefits of social support, too. This study was registered as a clinical trial through the National Cancer Institute (NCT02351479). Clinical trial registration: Clinicaltrails.gov, NCT02351479.
