Error in Figure
In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 4 as published. Some standard deviations were wrong. The corrected Figure 4 appears below.
Figure 4.
Forest plot presenting the effect of exercise on the improvement of Quality of Life (QoL) measured with different instruments in patients with Head and Neck cancer (HNC) compared with control; pre–post intervention data. Values on x-axis denote Cohen’s d. The diamond illustrates the 95% confidence interval of the pooled effects.
Text Correction
There was an error in the original publication [1]. Two sentences, one in the summary and one in the results, have an error in the hundredths of some data.
A correction has been made to Abstract section, the seventh sentence and Section 3.5, third paragraph.
The correct text of Abstract section, the seventh sentence is as follows: …showing a tendency in favor of intervention group, even when the global results did not show statistically significant improvements (pooled Cohen’s d 0.11; 95% CI: −0.27 to 0.50; I2 42.68%; p heterogeneity = 0.12).
The correct text of the Section 3.5, third paragraph is as follows: Regarding the data presented, there seems to be a tendency in favor of IG in terms of improvement in QoL after exercise program intervention (pooled Cohen’s d 0.11; 95% CI: −0.27 to 0.50; I2 42.68%; p heterogeneity = 0.12).
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
