The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07240584 (The Impact of Exercise Prehabilitation on Upper Extremity Range of Motions, Functionality and Quality of Life in Breast Cancer Survivors), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

introductionIn 2023, 35,000 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed, becoming the first type of tumour diagnosed in Spain. This tumour and its treatments generate important changes in the patient's quality of life. Alterations in the range of motion, pain and both physical and psychological disability are some of the effects that breast cancer generates in patients. Physical prehabilitation could be an opportunity to prevent some of these adverse effects.

objectiveThe objective of this review was to analyse the changes in objective and subjective variables in patients with breast cancer who undergo prehabilitation compared to those who perform other interventions. MATERIAL AND

methodEight databases were used for the bibliographic search of the present review. Following the selected inclusion and exclusion criteria, seven studies were analysed. The quality of these studies was assessed with the PEDro scale. The structural characteristics of the various articles were examined, as well as the objective (ROM and biomarker) and subjective study variables (pain, physical and mental recovery, quality of life and psychological aspects.

resultsA total of 1054 patients were analysed in the present review. All objective variables improved in the group that underwent physical prehabilitation. Subjective variables also improved in said group, although the improvement achieved in psychological aspects was not maintained over time.

conclusionPhysical prehabilitation is an interesting strategy to generate changes in breast cancer patients.
