Effect of Exercise on Immune System Markers in Cancer Patients and Survivors: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of sports science & medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
This systematic review aimed to analyze the impact of aerobic, resistance, combined, and mind-body exercise on the cellular markers of the immune system in cancer patients and survivors. Pubmed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases were searched to identify pertinent randomized controlled trials that looked at the effect of exercise interventions on cellular markers of immune system. Risk of Bias 2 (RoB2) Tool was used to evaluate the methodological quality of each study. Of the 20 investigations included, 8 observed beneficial results on the effect of aerobic, resistance, combined, and mind-body exercise on immune cells in cancer patients and survivors when compared to control groups. Observed changes included increases in natural killer (NK) cells, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and dendritic cell marker DC11c
