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

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of the theory-based tailored mHealth physical activity (PA) intervention among patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: A quasi-experimental study design was adopted. A total of 60 breast cancer patients were selected from two tertiary hospitals in Shanghai and Hangzhou City from September 2019 to August 2021. According to the admission order, 30 patients were first included in the control group, followed by 30 patients in the intervention group. A smartphone application (app) named "Breast Care" was developed based on social cognitive theory, self-efficacy theory, and the theory of planned behavior. The app integrated various functions, including information browsing, PA monitoring and feedback, symptom reporting, and social interaction. Patients in the intervention group received three months of personalized online PA guidance in addition to routine care. The control group received routine care. Baseline and post-intervention investigations after three months were conducted in two groups using the Short Form of International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast cancer. Results: After three months of intervention, compared to the control group, breast cancer patients in the intervention group showed significant improvements in walking, moderate PA, and overall PA ( Conclusions: The theory-based tailored mHealth PA intervention has demonstrated a positive impact on promoting PA behavior change and emotional management among breast cancer patients. The 'Breast Care' app integrated various practical behavior change strategies, offering valuable guidance for personalized remote rehabilitation support for cancer patients.
