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

Physical activity is important for prostate cancer survivors. Yet survivors face significant barriers to traditional structured exercise programs, limiting engagement and impact. Digital programs that incorporate fitness trackers and peer support via social media have potential to improve the reach and impact of traditional support. Using a digital walking program with prostate cancer survivors, we employed mixed methods to assess program outcomes, engagement, perceived utility, and social influence. After 6 weeks of program use, survivors and loved ones (n=18) significantly increased their average daily step count. Although engagement and perceived utility of using a fitness tracker and interacting with walking buddies was high, social media engagement and utility were limited. Group strategies associated with social influence were driven more by group attraction to the collective task of walking than by interpersonal bonds. Findings demonstrate the feasibility of a digital walking program to improve physical activity and extend the reach of traditional support.
