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

purposeBlack breast cancer survivors (BCS) are more likely to experience poor quality of life (QoL) compared to White BCS. Physical activity (PA) has been shown to improve QoL in cancer survivors. However, there is limited evidence demonstrating associations between PA and multiple QoL domains among Black BCS. This study examined the association between PA duration and intensity level (e.g., ≥ 150 min/week of moderate activity) and multiple QoL domains (e.g., physical health) among BCS in the Black Women's Health Study (BWHS).

methodsA total of 904 BWHS participants were eligible to participate in this study. The 2019 BWHS follow questionnaire, which assessed multiple QoL domains was used to address the primary aim. Adjusted multinomial logistic regression models were fit to estimate the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the associations with each exposure variable (PA) and outcome variable (QoL). Multiple imputation was used to address missing data.

resultsThe average participant age was 66, and the average body mass index was 29 kg/m

conclusionsBlack BCS who engage in higher durations of moderate and vigorous PA tend to have better QoL. These findings may help to build upon the importance of PA and the relevance of PA in the context of supportive care for racial and ethnic minority BCS. Future longitudinal studies are needed to establish clear temporal associations between PA and QoL in this group.
