Physical Therapy as Part of a Telehealth Multidisciplinary Lifestyle Modification Program (IM FIT): Preliminary Outcomes and Program Feedback From Cancer Survivors.

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
backgroundPhysical therapy (PT) has an important role in Integrative Oncology programs, addressing the unique physical health needs of individuals with cancer through exercise counseling. We share our experience with the PT component of our telehealth comprehensive lifestyle modification program including data from our first cohort of patients.
methodsThe PT component of our lifestyle modification program included 6 one-hour synchronous video sessions (30 minutes exercise education, 30 minutes exercise) over the 12-week program. Participants received handouts electronically that included information regarding each week's exercise-related topic, as well as weekly exercise assignments. Outcomes included weight, days of aerobic exercise, minutes of aerobic exercise, and days of strengthening exercise. Six patients completed the program and submitted an anonymous exit survey providing qualitative feedback on the program.
resultsOn average, patients reported engaging in aerobic exercise 4 days per week and strength training 2 days per week after the intervention. There were notable increases in days of strength training. Patients lost an average of 4.2% of their body weight over the course of the 12-week program. Qualitative feedback showed that the first cohort of patients described the telehealth program as enjoyable, valuable, and convenient. DISCUSSION: Physical therapy exercise programs can be modified and tailored for delivery in a telehealth environment. Increased patient access remains a strength of this model, serving to equip patients with the tools needed for increasing aerobic and strength training activity. Overall, the program was implemented successfully, and the anonymous feedback survey completed after program completion showed high patient satisfaction.
