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

introductionFew exercise-based oncology rehabilitation programs were available across Australia in 2015. Clinical guidelines have since recommended that exercise be included in standard cancer care. This study aimed to (1) identify and describe exercise-based oncology rehabilitation programs in Australia, (2) determine whether there have been changes in the number or content of programs since 2015, and (3) describe factors associated with program implementation.

methodsA cross-sectional survey collected data from program coordinators of Australian oncology rehabilitation programs. Quantitative data were analysed descriptively and using independent t-tests and chi-squared tests. Qualitative data underwent content analysis.

resultsThe number of oncology rehabilitation programs in Australia increased from 31 programs in 2015 to 76 programs in 2024, equating to an 88% increase from 8 to 15 programs per 100,000 cancer survivors. Sixty-two completed surveys were returned (62/76, 82% response rate). Programs were typically for people with any cancer at any stage of treatment. The proportion of programs offering education decreased by 29% since 2015 [χ

conclusionOncology rehabilitation programs in Australia have more than doubled in the past decade, but availability remains poor. Programs were mainly exercise-only, with an increased use of objective criteria for exercise dosage and progression.
