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

This pilot study aimed to assess the feasibility and preliminary effects of a supervised, home-based exercise program in patients recovering from laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. A total of 23 patients were included, with 13 participating in the exercise intervention and 10 receiving standard postoperative care. The exercise group (intervention group) followed a two-month structured program, while the control group received no structured exercise. Feasibility was demonstrated by 98% adherence in the intervention group and no reported adverse events. At T1, the intervention group showed significant improvements in role function, cognitive function, and reduced fatigue compared to the control group. At T2, a significant difference was observed in physical function. Functional capacity, assessed by the Six-Minute Walk Test, was significantly better in the intervention group at T1, T2, and T3, as was physical performance measured by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) at T1, T2, and T3. No significant differences were observed between the groups in anxiety, depression, sleep quality, or body composition parameters. This study highlights the feasibility of a supervised home-based exercise program in the early postoperative phase, demonstrating positive effects on Quality of Life, functional recovery, and fatigue in colorectal cancer patients.
