Preventing lower limb lymphedema after pelvic lymphadenectomy with progressive resistance exercise training: A randomized controlled trial.
Article in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 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
Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a self-designed progressive resistance exercise training program for preventing the development of lower limb lymphedema. Methods: An open-label randomized controlled trial was conducted in patients who underwent radical surgery for cervical cancer treatment in our department between October 7, 2019, and October 7, 2021. The participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: progressive resistance exercise training, graduated compression stocking, and control group. Results: A total of 267 patients were enrolled (89 in each group). The incidence of lower limb lymphedema was 9.0% ( Conclusions: Progressive resistance exercise training is an effective strategy for preventing lower limb lymphedema after pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical cancer. It imposes no additional economic burden and can be performed conveniently without the need for dedicated exercise facilities. This makes it particularly accessible to patients in developing countries, allowing them to exercise at their convenience. Trial registration: ChiCTR1800014905.
