The Impact of Physical Activity Levels on Sexual Function in Breast Cancer Survivors: An Integrative Review.
Review in Journal of the advanced practitioner in oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women in the US. With advancements in treatments, the life expectancy of breast cancer survivors (BCSs) continues to increase. Sexual dysfunction is a lasting effect of treatment and can impact BCSs' quality of life. This review examined the impact of different levels (none/low, moderate, and high) of physical activity on sexual outcomes in BCSs. A literature review of PubMed and Scopus restricted to articles published within the last 10 years yielded a total of 326 articles, with nine selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Compared with no physical activity, low, moderate, or high levels of physical activity are effective in improving sexual outcomes in BCSs. Findings were particularly pertinent to sexual pleasure and sexual function. Advanced practice providers (APPs) should recommend physical activity to BCSs and other cancer survivors who are experiencing sexual dysfunction. This paper contributes to the current body of knowledge by offering a unique intervention to address certain aspects of sexual functioning in BCSs.
