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

backgroundProstate cancer is highly prevalent in Spanish men. Although physical activity has benefits on several factors in prostate cancer survivors, this is diminished after medical oncology treatment. Cancer-related fatigue is one of the main barriers to physical activity, leading to a decrease in activity levels in these patients. Therefore, it is essential to assess physical activity in an efficient and simple way in order to design rehabilitation programmes for this population.

objectiveThe aim was to translate and adapt the Godin-Shephard Leisure-Time Physical Activity Questionnaire (GSLTPAQ) for Spanish-speaking prostate cancer patients and to assess its validity and reliability using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) as a reference standard.

methodsFollowing Beaton's guidelines, the GSLTPAQ was back-translated and cross-culturally adapted. Validity and reliability were assessed with a sample of thirty prostate cancer patients. Internal consistency and test-retest variability were also evaluated.

resultsThe Spanish GSLTPAQ demonstrated excellent validity, with high correlations with the IPAQ for light (r = 0.924), moderate (r = 0.931), and vigorous activities (r = 0.882). Internal consistency was strong (Cronbach's alpha: 0.845-0.950). Test-retest reliability showed strong intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for all activity levels, indicating good reliability.

conclusionsThe Spanish version of the GSLTPAQ is a valid and reliable tool for assessing physical activity in prostate cancer patients. It shows strong correlations with the IPAQ, excellent internal consistency, and test-retest reliability.
