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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesTreatment disruptions and discontinuations during systemic cancer therapy are common and can compromise treatment delivery and outcomes. Structured exercise and mind-body interventions improve cancer-related symptoms, but their impact on treatment disruptions and discontinuations remains unclear. This secondary analysis of the IMPROVE trial evaluated whether participation in Integrative Medicine at Home (IM@Home), a digital multimodal mind-body and structured exercise program, was associated with differences in treatment discontinuation and related treatment disruption outcomes among patients undergoing systemic therapy.

methodsA total of 127 adults with solid tumors were randomized to IM@Home (n = 64) or enhanced usual care (EUC; n = 63) for 12 weeks. Treatment discontinuation, dose delays, dose reductions, and overall treatment disruptions were compared between arms using chi-square tests and regression models adjusted for cancer type and disease stage.

resultsIn unadjusted analyses, treatment discontinuation occurred less frequently in the IM@Home group compared with EUC (9.4% vs. 22.6%;

conclusionsThese exploratory findings suggest that digital structured exercise and mind-body programs may help mitigate treatment interruptions during systemic cancer therapy and should be explored further in an adequately powered prospective trial to confirm these promising findings.
