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.

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.

Abstract

purposeTo analyze the body image perceptions of female breast cancer patients who took part in a physical exercise (PE) program.

methodsFour discussion groups were held with 40 breast cancer patients participating in an exercise program. Hierarchical content analysis identified three central themes: (a) consequences of cancer, (b) coping, and (c) consequences of exercise.

resultsRegarding cancer consequences, narratives linked to the others' perception and body stigma prevailed. Participants used mutual support and empowerment as their main coping strategies. The PE program was perceived as a promoter of physical (functional and aesthetic) and psychological benefits.

conclusionsThe participation of female breast cancer patients in PE programs contributes to greater physical, psychological, and social well-being. The analyzed PE program contributed, in general, to an improvement in body image with special emphasis on body function and in cognitive and affective dimensions. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: PE programs can be a valuable intervention for breast cancer survivors, enhancing body image, quality of life, and emotional resilience during recovery.
