Effects of resistance exercise in elderly cancer patients.

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: To investigate the effects of resistance exercise (RE) in elderly cancer patients (ECPs). Methods: Convenience sampling was used to select 240 ECPs, who received radiotherapy and chemotherapy at the Department of Oncology of a Level-A tertiary hospital in Shanghai from September 2019 to August 2020, and they were randomized to control (CON) and experimental (EXP). After a 12-week intervention, the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F), the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), the Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC) and the Functional Independence Measure (FIMSM) were used to evaluate the effects of RE in two groups. Results: After 12-week intervention, the total FIMSM score and the scores of self-care, transfers, locomotion, communication, and social cognition of EXP was higher than before, and compared with CON (P<0.05). However, the intervention did not effectively improve the sphincter control (P>0.05). The SF-36 and CD-RISC scores of EXP were higher than those of CON, and FACIT-F score was lower than that of CON with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion: RE effectively relieved the cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in ECPs, improved their mental state, quality of life and mobility.
