The content and effectiveness of physical activity for cancer-related fatigue among colorectal cancer survivors: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Nursing open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
aimsTo review the content and efficacy of physical activity (PA) for cancer-related fatigue (CRF) among colorectal cancer survivors.
designSystematic review.
methodsA comprehensive search for randomized controlled trials from inception to April 1, 2022, of the following database was performed: EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data and China Biology Medicine (CBM). RevMan5.4 software was used for performing meta-analysis.
resultsA total of eight qualified randomized controlled trials that included 542 survivors were included. PA interventions significantly reduced the CRF (SMD = -0.46; 95% CI: [-0.76, -0.15], Z = 2.67, p = 0.003); Subgroup analysis showed that fatigue was significantly improved when the length of interventions was at least 6 months and the weekly duration of PA was less than 150 min/week (SMD = -0.54; 95% CI: [-0.81, -0.27], Z = 3.87 and p = 0.0001; SMD = -0.67; 95% CI: [-1.15, -0.19], Z = 2.74 and p = 0.006); PA intervention with the length of <6 months and the volume of ≥150 min/week did not reduce fatigue (p > 0.05).
