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

Cancer remains a global health challenge, with rising survivorship rates highlighting the need for integrated interdisciplinary rehabilitation care. Survivors frequently experience persistent physical, functional, psychological, cognitive and behavioural challenges, including fatigue, deconditioning, neuropathy, pain and psychological distress, with up to two-thirds reporting significant unmet needs and reduced quality of life. Interdisciplinary rehabilitation, encompassing exercise, education, nutrition, task-specific functional retraining, psychosocial support and vocational interventions, effectively mitigates these disabilities, improving function and promoting societal participation. Despite strong evidence, rehabilitation remains underutilised in Australia and New Zealand due to workforce, infrastructure, referral, funding and awareness barriers. Embedding rehabilitation as standard cancer care is essential to optimise survivorship outcomes and deliver sustainable health system benefits.
