Adult childhood cancer survivors' perceptions of factors that influence their ability to be physically active.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeStudies indicate that adult childhood cancer survivors do not achieve recommended physical activity levels. A deeper understanding of factors that influence their ability to be physically active is essential to identify individuals in need of support. The aim was to explore factors that influence adult childhood cancer survivor's ability to be physically active.
methodSemi-structured interviews were conducted from June to October 2020 with 20 adult childhood cancer survivors with a median age of 31 (min-max 20-47) years. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed with qualitative content analysis.
resultsFour main categories: "The impact of environmental factors," "Personal factors of importance," "Consequences of the treatment or disease," and "The impact of support from healthcare" and 10 sub-categories, were identified. Participants described how family habits and encouragement from others influenced their present ability to be physically active. Experienced benefits of physical activity were described as a facilitator for current physical activity while suffering from late complications was identified as a barrier. Participants highlighted the importance of specific and individualized physical activity recommendations.
conclusionThis study includes adult childhood cancer survivors several years after completion of treatment, hence highlighting the importance for support both during treatment and follow-up to sustain their physical activity. Healthcare providers need to identify individuals suffering from late complications, even several years after treatment; provide individualized physical activity recommendations; and educate families and schools about the importance of physical activity in childhood cancer survivorship.
