The effect of exercise in patients with colorectal cancer surgery: A systematic review.
Review in Surgery in practice and science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Current reviews have primarily focused on the effect of exercise on colorectal cancer patient's functional abilities and cardiorespiratory performance. There is a need for more comprehensive studies to determine the effects of exercise on different components. We aimed to investigate recent pre-operative and post-operative exercise interventions conducted in patients undergoing or scheduled for colorectal cancer surgery. Methods: The PRISMA guidelines were followed. PubMed, Web-of-Science (WoS) and Scopus databases were searched. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) tool provided the methodological quality and risk of bias for the included trials. The review findings are presented using the principles of narrative synthesis. The synthesis process encompasses steps such as "developing a preliminary synthesis, exploring relationships within and between studies, and assessing the robustness of the synthesis." Results: The combined use of aerobic and resistance exercises reduces hospital stay in the preoperative period, long-term exercise interventions significantly improve functional parameters, and progressive relaxation exercises performed during the preoperative and postoperative periods reduce anxiety. Conclusions: Long-term and combined (relaxation, aerobic and resistance) rehabilitation in colorectal cancer surgery is essential to improve the physical and psychological parameters of patients. Further studies should focus on more comprehensive, long-term exercise programs and separately investigate the effects of each exercise type.
