Exercise preferences, levels and quality of life in lung cancer survivors.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeLung cancer poses multiple challenges to adopting an exercise (EX) program, and the ideal timing of an EX program to improve quality of life (QoL) is unknown. This study explored the EX counselling and programming preferences of lung cancer survivors and examined the association of EX before diagnosis, during treatment and after treatment on QoL.
methodsCross-sectional, retrospective survey design in a sample of lung cancer survivors. EX preferences were compared between patients who had received radical chest radiation or lung surgery versus those who had not. EX was measured by self-report using the Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLTEQ). Separate linear regression models, controlling for significant covariates, examined the association of EX at each time point with scores on QoL measures and subscales.
resultsParticipants (N = 66, M age 66.4 ± 9.1) were between 4 months and 11.5 years after lung cancer diagnosis (M = 31.7 ± 22.9 months). Patients who had lung surgery were more likely to prefer to start an EX program during adjuvant treatment than those who did not have surgery (t(33) = 2.43, p = .025). Compared to prediagnosis EX (M = 36.7 ± 56.0 MET h/week), EX levels declined significantly during (M = 12.4 ± 25.0 MET h/week) and after (M = 12.3 ± 17.4 MET h/week) treatment (p < .05). After controlling for disease stage and income, regression models were not significant, but EX after treatment was a significant individual predictor of fatigue (β = .049, p = .006) and QoL measured by the Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire (β = .163, p = .025).
conclusionsLung cancer patient preferences indicate that EX program timing should take into account whether the patient has undergone surgery. Lung cancer survivors' EX levels declined after diagnosis and engaging in EX after treatment may improve fatigue and QoL.
