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

purposeThis study aimed to identify distinct profiles of quality of life (QoL) and lifestyle behaviors among cancer survivors and explore their associations with clinical and demographic factors.

methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted globally from July to November 2020 among cancer survivors aged 18 and older. Sedentary behavior and sleep were assessed using a modified Domain-Specific Sitting Time Questionnaire, physical activity with the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire, and QoL via the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy scale. Latent profile analysis identified subgroups based on lifestyle behaviors, and multinomial logistic regression examined clinical and demographic associations.

resultsAmong 477 cancer survivors (Mage = 48.5 ± 15.4 years), predominantly female (69.6%) and diagnosed with breast cancer (29.3%), three latent profiles were identified: Class 1 ("Limited 24-Hour Movement with Low Well-being"), Class 2 ("Partial 24-Hour Movement with Moderate Well-being"), and Class 3 ("Complete 24-Hour Movement with High Well-being"). Class 3 had the highest physical activity, lowest sedentary time, and best QoL, associated with older age, lower body mass index, fewer comorbidities, and less chemotherapy or hormone therapy.

conclusionsIdentifying latent profiles of QoL and lifestyle behaviors highlights opportunities for tailored interventions in cancer survivorship care. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Survivors in low well-being profiles may benefit from targeted interventions to reduce sedentary behavior, increase physical activity, and address fatigue and comorbidities. Those in high well-being profiles may need support to sustain healthy habits and manage emotional well-being.
