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

Physical activity (PA) levels among breast cancer survivors following surgery are often low, with unclear roles played by pain-related factors. This study investigates the changes in PA and its contributing factors, including pain-related factors, in 184 breast cancer survivors throughout the acute post-operative stage of 1 week (T1), the sub-acute stage of 4 months (T4), and the long-term stage of 12 months (T12). A linear mixed model was utilized to evaluate PA changes in the first year post-surgery. Multivariate regression analyses explored associations between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and patient characteristics, pain-related factors, emotional and physical functioning, and quality of life (QoL) at each timepoint separately and also explored factors in the acute and sub-acute stage contributing to MVPA at T12. Weekly minutes of MVPA and steps had a significant increase between T4 and T12. All models, adjusted for age and BMI, were significant (p < 0.01) but explained only small proportions of variance of MVPA at T1 (AdjR
