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

The majority of women treated for breast cancer are physically inactive although physical activity (PA) could attenuate many adverse effects of cancer and treatment. Autonomy support from healthcare professionals may improve PA initiation, adherence and maintenance. This study aimed to determine, using a causal inference approach, whether or not perceived autonomy support (PAS) from healthcare professionals is associated with light, moderate, and vigorous intensity PA among women treated for breast cancer. Data were drawn from the longitudinal study "Life After Breast Cancer: Moving On" (n = 199). PAS was measured with the Health Care Climate Questionnaire and PA was assessed using GT3X triaxial accelerometers. Associations between PAS and PA were estimated with linear regressions and adjusted estimations were obtained using propensity score-based inverse probability of treatment weights (IPTW). Results reveal no association between PAS and PA of light ([Formula: see text](95%CI) = -0.09 (-0.68, 0.49)), moderate ([Formula: see text] (95%CI) = -0.03 (-0.17, 0.11)), or vigorous ([Formula: see text](95%CI) = 0.00 (-0.03, 0.02)) intensity. Different forms of engagement and support by healthcare professionals should be explored to identify the best intervention targets to encourage women to adopt and maintain regular PA in the cancer continuum.
