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

Prehabilitation is gaining increasing importance in the care of patients with head and neck cancer. While the positive effects of exercise therapy interventions are well established in other oncological entities, the prehabilitative use of physical activity in head and neck cancer has so far been largely limited to prevention and reduction of swallowing disorders. Targeted exercise therapy interventions to enhance physical and mental performance have rarely been implemented in these patients. This article shows which aspects of the disease can be addressed through appropriate training measures. Based on the evidence, it derives how exercise control can be implemented in practice using the FITT criteria (frequency, intensity, time, type).
