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
Sedentary behavior is prevalent among the elderly and has become an increasingly serious public health issue. Although extensive research has been conducted on the status and risk factors of sedentary behavior in the general elderly population, the current situation and related influencing factors of sedentary behavior in elderly patients with ovarian cancer, a disease-specific group, have not been fully explored. In this study, a total of 206 elderly ovarian cancer (EOC) patients who received treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from September 1, 2022, to February 28, 2025, were selected as the research subjects by convenience sampling. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Chinese Adult Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire, Social Support Rating Scale, Nutritional Risk Screening 2002, and Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale. The influencing factors of sedentary behavior in EOC patients were analyzed by the logistic regression model and CHAID decision tree model. Among the 206 EOC patients, the average sedentary time was 7.4±3.0 h/d, and 161 patients (78.2%) had sedentary behavior (sedentary time ≥5 h/d). Logistic regression analysis and CHAID decision tree algorithm both demonstrated that social support and cancer symptom burden were the influencing factors of sedentary behavior in EOC patients (P<0.05). Moreover, the Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID) algorithm further revealed an interaction between the two factors, indicating that the social support level was the most crucial determinant. Our study reveals that sedentary behavior among EOC patients is alarmingly prevalent, necessitating urgent attention from medical professionals. Given the significant impact of social support and cancer symptom burden on this sedentary behavior, healthcare providers should proactively assess and intervene to address these influential factors, thereby mitigating the adverse consequences of excessive sedentary time for EOC patients. Decision tree and logistic regression models effectively identify sedentary behavior determinants with good predictive power. A combined approach is recommended to leverage their complementary strengths, providing a robust basis for reducing sedentary behavior in EOC patients.
