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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a Hispanic adapted culturally relevant Exercising Together

methodsDyads participated together in a live, remote group-based 12-week exercise intervention with resistance training three times a week. Primary outcomes were intervention feasibility and acceptability. Secondary outcomes were measures of physical and psychosocial health. Assessments were completed at baseline and post-intervention. Mean difference and effect sizes were calculated to determine intervention effects.

resultsAccrual of eligible dyads was 75%. Fourteen eligible dyads were allocated to intervention. Attendance averaged 62%. Retention was 79% with 95% assessment completion. Participants rated HACER as acceptable and 86% would recommend the program to other dyads. Self-reported physical activity level and objective physical function improved for survivors and caregivers, with clinically significant improvement in caregiver depressive symptoms.

conclusionsHACER was feasible and acceptable with modest improvements in physical and psychosocial health, especially for Hispanic survivors. HACER shows promise as a scalable intervention to improve health outcomes for Hispanic cancer survivors and caregivers when they train together; a larger, fully powered efficacy trial is warranted.
