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.
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
aimPostoperative colorectal cancer (CRC) patients have less physical activity (PA) and prolonged sedentary time, which negatively affects their quality of life and longevity. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of an exercise intervention based on the multi-theory model (MTM) on the time of and willingness to perform PA in postoperative CRC patients.
methodsA quasi-experimental study was conducted with an intervention group and a control group. A convenience sampling method was used to include 70 CRC patients admitted to the Department of Colorectal Surgery of a Grade III hospital in Jilin Province, China. The intervention group received basic nursing care + MTM exercise intervention, and the control group received basic nursing care + knowledge-based education. The duration of the intervention was 1 month. The Measuring Change in Physical Activity Questionnaire (MCPAQ), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and the Core Quality of Life Scale (EORTC-QLQ-30) were used to evaluate patients at admission, 1 week after the intervention, and 1 month after the intervention. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, repeated-measures ANOVA to analyze differences at multiple time points, and independent sample t tests or rank-sum tests for comparisons between groups.
resultsThe demographic characteristics were similar between the two groups at baseline (p > 0.05). In the intervention group, the willingness to perform PA, walking duration (light-intensity physical activity, LPA), moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) duration, and quality of life were greater than those in the control group (p < 0.05) at 1 week and 1 month after the exercise intervention. In addition, sedentary behavior (SB) was lower in the intervention group than in the control group (p < 0.05). In addition, the measurements over time also revealed positive effects of exercise intervention on PA duration and willingness to perform PA in postoperative CRC patients in the intervention group.
conclusionExercise interventions based on the MTM are important for improving the duration of and willingness to perform PA, improving quality of life, and reducing sedentary time in postoperative CRC patients.
