Effects of Tai Chi Qigong on sleep quality in older male cancer survivors: A randomized controlled clinical trial.
Article in Brain medicine : from neurons to behavior and better health, 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
To compare the efficacy of Tai Chi and Qigong (TCQ) versus exercise intensity-matched (EIM) and usual care (UC) on sleep quality in older male cancer survivors. We conducted a three-arm randomized controlled trial among male cancer survivors aged 55 years and older. Participants were randomized to UC or one of two group-based interventions (TCQ or EIM), delivered twice weekly for 12 weeks with follow-up through 12 months. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Linear contrasts estimated within-arm changes and between-arm differences with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A total of 113 participants (mean age 69.1 (SD = 7 years); 77.0% White; 88.5% non-Hispanic) were enrolled. At 3-months post-intervention, between-arm differences in sleep quality were not significant (
