Efficacy and Safety of High-Intensity Interval Training in a Patient With Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia Receiving Consolidation Chemotherapy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Exercise tolerance prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an important prognostic indicator. Nevertheless, patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) before HSCT have reduced exercise tolerance after multiple rounds of chemotherapy. Exercise is encouraged in these patients to prevent reduced exercise tolerance. However, exercise compliance is reduced during chemotherapy. Therefore, we focused on the potential role of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), which improves exercise tolerance but requires fewer interventions. The efficacy and safety of HIIT in patients undergoing chemotherapy remain unknown. Here, we report an exercise intervention that incorporated HIIT in a patient with ALL undergoing consolidation chemotherapy (CC). The patient was a 40-year-old female diagnosed with ALL for whom rehabilitation was implemented after initiation of induction chemotherapy. The patient underwent aerobic exercise on an ergometer (20 min at 50-60% intensity, using the Karvonen method) and weight-bearing resistance training (three sets of 10-20 repetitions at a 4-5 rating on the modified Borg scale) five times a week. The physical function assessment before the third CC session showed decreased exercise tolerance. An HIIT intervention was added as a more effective rehabilitation strategy for the patient. HIIT was performed on an ergometer. The protocol consisted of a 5-min warm-up, three to four sets of alternating between 80-90% peak oxygen uptake (peak VO
