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

Young breast cancer survivors often develop post-breast surgery pain syndrome (PBSPS). Despite potential benefit from physical activity, access to in-person programs is often limited by competing work and caregiving responsibilities. We assessed the feasibility and acceptability of a remotely delivered physical activity intervention for young Hispanic breast cancer survivors with PBSPS. Our single-arm, 12-week feasibility study enrolled Hispanic women aged ≤60, at least 3 months post-treatment for invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), with PBSPS. Using a Fitbit Inspire 3 activity tracker and health coaching, the program encouraged whole-of-day movement to increase activity. Feasibility outcomes included recruitment, retention, and adherence. Secondary outcomes assessed pain measures, daily steps, and quality of life (QOL). Twenty-five breast cancer survivors enrolled (mean age 47.4 years [SD 6.3]), with 76% selecting Spanish-language health coaching. Retention at 12 weeks was 79% (19/24). Engagement with health coaching was high, with 95% completing at least 4 of 5 pre-planned calls. The mean change in daily step count was 1502 (-348, 3353), with twelve (66.7%) increasing in step count (median 2334.5, range: 14, 13,422). Each additional 1000-step increase was associated with a 2.67-point increase in pain self-efficacy scores (β = 2.669, 95% CI: 0.884 to 4.454,
