Avoidance of air pollution by home-based high tone therapy in cancer patients.
Article in Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2026. 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
backgroundHome-based treatments are highly relevant for cancer patients due to their limited access to rehabilitation resources. Therefore, home-based treatments offer several advantages in the oncologic setting. In addition, there is potential to decrease the environmental footprints. No previous study has addressed the co-benefits of home-based electrotherapy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the reductions in CO
methodsThis study was conducted at two supraregional clinics in Vienna, Austria. A total of 65 cancer patients treated for chemotherapy-induced polyneuropathy via home-based high tone therapy over a period of 3 weeks were evaluated. Basic data as well as the distance from the patients' home to the respective clinic, means of transportation, and treatment adherence were analyzed. Based on this information, the total saved km and emissions of CO
resultsAll patients performed the treatment on at least 15 out of 21 days and 59 patients (91%) even daily. No adverse events were reported and 60% of the patients would have travelled by car and 40% would have used public transport. On average, 129 travel km were saved per patient per treatment week. This corresponds to a saving of 15 kg of CO
conclusionHome-based high tone therapy was highly accepted with a high number of treatment sessions among all patient groups. Additionally, strong reductions of emissions of CO
