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

Objective: To compare the effects of exercise-based interventions on cardiometabolic health and fatigue in men with prostate cancer receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Methods: A comprehensive search for Randomized controlled studies (RCTs) was performed in Pubmed, Embase, EBSCO, Web of science, Scopus, Cochrane library, Wanfang database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP from their inception to May 2025. Meta-analysis and network meta-analysis was then conducted for each outcome using RevMan 5.4 and R 4.5.1. Results: A total of 22 RCTs were included, involving 1579 patients with prostate cancer receiving ADT. The results of the meta-analysis indicated that exercise can significantly enhance cardiometabolic health and alleviate fatigue in men with prostate cancer receiving ADT. And the network meta-analysis showed that RET (Resistance Exercise Training) (SUCRA: 75.21%, 83.60%) was the most effective exercise for improving the whole-body fat mass and whole-body fat percentage; Home-based AET (Aerobic Exercise Training) + RET (SUCRA: 94.46%) were the most effective exercise in alleviating fatigue. Moreover, improvements in whole-body fat mass and whole-body fat percentage were proportional to the duration of the intervention. However, the optimal duration and frequency for improving fatigue still require further exploration. Conclusions: Network meta-analysis results show that the optimal exercises for improving cardiometabolic health and alleviating fatigue are RET and Home-based AET + RET. However, the certainty of this evidence is very low; further studies are required to identify the optimal type, duration, and frequency of exercise for improving cardiometabolic outcomes and fatigue in men with prostate cancer receiving ADT. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO (CRD420251047818).
