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
Background: A systematic evaluation of the clinical effects of mind-body traditional Chinese exercises (Qigong, Taichi, Baduanjin, Liuzijue and Wuqinxi) lung cancer patients. Methods: Systematic searches of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and China Knowledge Network (CNKI), Wan fang, China Biology Medicine disc (CBM), and VIP were performed from the time of library construction to August 20, 2025. Lung cancer patients were included in the study, and the interventions were Qigong, Taichi, Baduanjin, Liuzijue or Wuqinxi, and the control group was conventional treatment or other non-exercise interventions. Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 15. Results: 22 randomized controlled studies involving 1827 patients including, meta-analysis results suggested that mind-body traditional Chinese exercises were able to reduce anxiety scores [SMD=-1.05, 95%CI (- 1.34, -0.76)], depression scores [SMD=-1.05, 95%CI (- 1.26, -0.82)], PSQI [SMD=-0.67, 95%CI (-1.17, -0.17)] and increase 6MWT [WMD = 31.24, 95%CI (19.54, 42.95)], quality of life scores [SMD = 0.85, 95%CI (0.36, 1.34)], FEV1 [WMD = 0.14, 95%CI (0.06, 0.23)],FVC [WMD = 0.08, 95%CI (0.02, 0.15)] in lung cancer patients. Conclusion: In this study, the results showed that the mind-body traditional Chinese exercises maybe significantly improve the patients' anxiety, depression, sleep quality, exercise capacity, lung function and quality of life.
