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.

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.
