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

Background: The main aim of the study was to determine the relationships between components of physical activity level with quality of life (QoL) and cancer-related fatigue (CRF) among breast cancer survivors in Malaysia. Methods: Eighty-three female breast cancer survivors with mean age 52.8 (8.7) years old participated in this study. The participants were asked to answer Short Form International Physical Activity Questionnaire (SF IPAQ) to identify physical activity level, Breast Cancer Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-B) questionnaire to determine the QoL, and Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) scale questionnaire to assess CRF. Descriptive statistic and Pearson correlation were performed for statistical analysis. Results: There was a significant positive correlation between time spent for moderate to vigorous physical activity (mins/week MVPA) and functional well-being, a component of QoL ( Conclusion: Participation in physical activity might improve QoL and reduce the severity of CRF in Malaysian breast cancer survivors.
