Children's physical activity behavior following a supervised physical activity program in pediatric oncology.

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
backgroundThe theory of planned behavior (TPB) model and its components have been applied to comprehend the adoption of physical activity along with informational and motivational parameters. Thus, the first aim of this exploratory study was to explore the evolution of children's physical activity levels over a supervised physical activity program. The second aim was to describe the evolution of TPB measures, self-reported fitness and self-esteem in the physical domain to better understand children's physical activity behavior over the course of the physical activity program.
methodsA total of 16 children (8 boys and 8 girls) with cancer answered psychosocial questionnaires before and after a supervised physical activity program to explore the TPB measures, self-reported fitness, self-esteem in the physical domain and their daily physical activities.
resultsA significant increase of 13.8 min/day [95% CI (16.7; 10.8); p < 0.0001; d = 1.4] of daily MVLPA was observed between the time before (9.3 ± 9.1 min/day) and after (23.1 ± 10.8 min/day) the physical activity program. We found that the physical activity program positively impacted children's TPB measures (mean in attitude, identity, facilitating factors, self-confidence and intention) and MVLPA levels. The TPB model explained 36.2% of the variance in MVLPA by injunctive norms after the physical activity program.
conclusionThis study highlighted the need to provide children with physical activity support as soon as the cancer is diagnosed and showed that children's physical activity behaviors were facilitated by familial support measured by injunctive norms.
