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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundPost-treatment weight gain and gut dysbiosis are important concerns in breast cancer patients. However, evidence on the gut microbiota in this population, particularly in relation to physical activity, is limited.

aimTherefore, we compared gut microbiota in breast cancer patients with obesity with healthy controls and non-cancer controls with obesity and subsequently examined the effects of a combined dance and dietary intervention on gut microbiota, metabolic health, physical fitness, and quality of life. METHODS AND

resultsThe observational part compared gut microbiota in breast cancer patients with obesity (BCO, BMI 32.43 ± 4.90 kg/m

conclusionBreast cancer patients showed more negative shifts in gut microbiota compared with both controls. In addition, a 12-week combined dance and dietary intervention improved body composition, physical fitness, quality of life, and was associated with mixed but potentially beneficial changes in select gut microbiota taxa among breast cancer patients with obesity.
