The effects of early rehabilitation on physical and psychosocial functions after breast cancer surgery.
Trial report in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04979715 (The Effect of Early Rehabilitation After Breast Cancer Surgery on Physical and Psychosocial Functions), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
purposeThe aim of this study was to examine the short-term effects of early rehabilitation on physical and psychosocial functions in individuals undergoing breast cancer surgery.
methodsSixty-three female patients with breast cancer who were scheduled for surgery were randomly divided into three groups using the closed envelope method. Participants in Group 1 (G1) received preoperative patient education, exercised under the supervision of a physiotherapist during postoperative hospitalization, received a patient information brochure, and were followed up for 3 months after surgery with telephone calls at 2-week intervals. Participants in Group 2 (G2) received preoperative patient information and a patient information brochure. Participants in Group 3 (G3) received only preoperative patient information. Upper extremity circumference measurements, tissue dielectric constant measurements, shoulder Function, quality of life, and fatigue level assessments were repeated preoperatively, at postoperative discharge, and 3 months after surgery.
resultsThe limb volumes of all the groups increased over time (p < 0.05; except the volume of the unaffected limb in G2). The volume difference between the extremities increased over time only in G2 (p < 0.05). The subdermal fluid ratios of all the groups increased after surgery but decreased after 3 months. The modified Constant-Murley score, which reflects shoulder Function, decreased in all groups after surgery and was similar to the baseline value after 3 months, except G3, in which the score was significantly lower than the baseline value (p < 0.05).
conclusionsThe results of this study revealed that the physical and psychosocial functions of individuals deteriorate after breast cancer surgery, but early physiotherapist follow-up is effective in maintaining these functions and preventing breast cancer-related lymphedema.
