Physical activity among cancer survivors-what is their perception and experience?
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposePhysical activity (PA) plays an important role relating to cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the attitude to and experience with the subject of PA in cancer in a large group of tumour patients.
methodsA standardised questionnaire was carried out and distributed to patients online and in printed form.
resultsNine hundred five patients answered the questionnaire. Most tumour patients (60%) received information about PA after their cancer therapy. The Internet was often rated to be inadequate as a source of information. One in two tumour patients were recommended PA by a therapist. During the acute phase, the majority (57% of the 776) did not receive a sport-therapeutic exercise programme. Two thirds (68%) of the 898 patients indicated regularly engaging in PA at least 3 or 5 days per week. In most cases (30% of the 787), 2 to 4 h per week were dedicated to PA. In addition to a desire to increase well-being, enjoyment played a large role. Weakness and lack of willpower are among the most common barriers. Most tumour patients confirmed that PA improved their body awareness (58%) or gave them the feeling that they could do something to better cope with the disease (61%) or feel better (68%).
conclusionOn the one hand, the information requirements of tumour patients with respect to PA have not been adequately taken into account by practitioners. On the other hand, there are still subjective inhibitions on the part of the patients, which keep them from engaging in PA.
