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

backgroundInterventions targeting moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) may be a catalyst for improving other lifestyle behaviors in breast cancer survivors (BCS). We examined whether Fit2Thrive, an mHealth MVPA intervention, influenced adherence to cancer prevention recommendations.

methodsBCSs (N = 269; age, mean = 52.9; SD = 9.9) received a 12-week mHealth MVPA intervention and were randomized to "on" or "off" level of five intervention components. The World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) score was calculated (0 = high cancer risk, 6 = low cancer risk) based on cancer prevention recommendations: sugar-sweetened beverages, fast food, fruit/vegetable intake, body mass index, alcohol consumption, and MVPA (baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks). Mixed-effects models examined changes in the WCRF/AICR score and each risk factor and the effects of each intervention component (telephone support calls, Fitbit Buddy, tailored text messages, deluxe app, online gym) level on the WCRF/AICR score.

resultsThe WCRF/AICR total score significantly improved at 12 and 24 weeks (P values < 0.001). MVPA improved at 12 and 24 weeks (P values < 0.001). Fruit and vegetable consumption improved at 12 weeks (P = 0.01). No changes in other risk factors were observed.

conclusionsParticipation in a mHealth MVPA intervention may influence cancer risk in BCS and have effects on certain untargeted behaviors (fruit and vegetable consumption) but not on other risk factors (sugar-sweetened beverages, fast food, body mass index, alcohol consumption). Future work should explore how to maximize these effects and determine if resource-efficient dietary intervention components improve cancer outcomes. IMPACT: Understanding the impact of an mHealth MVPA intervention on untargeted dietary behaviors may guide the development of scalable interventions targeting lifestyle behaviors.
