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

backgroundBehavioural physical activity (PA) interventions have shown success among people living with and beyond cancer (LWBC). Intervention delivery typically involves qualified exercise professionals (QEP); however, peer mentors (i.e. active people LWBC) may enhance such interventions as they can provide practical and emotional support from their lived experience. The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a peer-delivered PA behaviour change intervention for inactive people LWBC.

methodsInactive people LWBC participated in a 6-week intervention informed by the Multi-process Action Control Framework (M-PAC). Week 1 included a QEP-hosted webinar educating participants on how to meet cancer-specific PA guidelines. In weeks 2-6, participants met weekly with a peer mentor to discuss behaviour change strategies. Feasibility and acceptability were assessed with enrollment, retention, and adherence rates, intervention satisfaction and semi-structured interviews. Secondary outcomes (i.e. PA, quality of life, M-PAC constructs) were self-reported.

resultsParticipants (N = 15; M

conclusionMeeting all predetermined success criteria, the peer-led intervention was feasible for both participants and peer mentors. Larger, randomized controlled trials are needed to determine intervention efficacy and mechanisms of action.
