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.

Abstract

Background: To address the lack of access to supportive cancer care resources, the purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility of a tailored exercise program for neuro-oncology patients. Methods: Patients with a primary brain tumor diagnosis, >18 years, and able to consent in English were recruited at 2 tertiary cancer centers in Alberta. Recruitment occurred via the electronic medical record as well as self-referral. A 12-week, tailored exercise intervention with health coaching was delivered in both one-on-one and group-based formats, either in-person or online. Measures of feasibility included tracking referral, enrollment, intervention completion and adherence, measurement completion, fidelity, participant satisfaction, and safety. Participant-reported outcomes and functional fitness were assessed at baseline and 12 weeks. Objective physical activity was tracked via a Garmin activity tracker. Results: Recruitment occurred between April 2021-December 2022. Conclusions: Delivery of a tailored neuro-oncology exercise program with referral included via the electronic medical record is feasible. Future work is needed to optimize tailored programming as well as to address factors critical for implementation into standard cancer care. Clinical Trials Registration: NCT04831190 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04831190).
