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

introductionThe impact of physical activity on the quality of life in breast cancer patients and survivors is examined in this study by a comprehensive meta-analysis of randomized control trials. Materials and procedures: We searched databases like PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar for research publications published between 2005 and 2024, using the PRISMA guidelines. R software was utilised to perform the meta-analysis, and Cochrane's ROB 2.0 tool was employed to assess the quality of the studies. We utilised the I2 statistics to evaluate heterogeneity. A funnel plot and Egger's regression test were used to determine publication bias.

resultsThe pooled effect of training on overall health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in survivors and patients of breast cancer was estimated to have been 0.70 (CI = 95%: 0.41-0.99) using a random effects model. HRQOL was calculated using Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) outcomes in breast cancer survivors and patients with cancer following giving them physical training and fitness intervention. The downward trend in the meta-regression study suggests that younger people benefited more from exercise in terms of quality of life than older patients. Participants in Asia [1.72 (CI = 95%: -0.60-4.05)], America [0.52 (CI = 95%: 0.30-0.74)], and Australia [0.43 (CI = 95%: 0.24-0.61)] had a stronger effect of the treatment compared to patients in Europe [0.51 (CI = 95%: -0.12-1.15)], according to sub-group analysis.

conclusionPhysical activity enhances breast cancer patients' and survivors' health-related quality of life.
