Increasing physical activity among older adults with gynecologic cancers: a qualitative study.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of older gynecologic cancer patients' preferences and opinions related to physical activity during chemotherapy, including interventions to promote physical activity.
methodsGynecologic cancer patients 60 years or older receiving chemotherapy at a single institution within the last 12 months completed questionnaires and a semi-structured interview asking about their preferences for physical activity interventions aimed at promoting physical activity while receiving treatment.
resultsAmong the 30 gynecologic cancer patients surveyed and interviewed, a majority agreed with the potential usefulness of a physical activity intervention during chemotherapy (67%) and most reported they would be willing to use an activity tracker during chemotherapy (73%). They expressed a preference for an aerobic activity intervention such as walking, indicated a desire for education from their clinical team on the effects physical activity can have on treatment symptoms, and stated a need for an intervention that could be accessed from anywhere and anytime. Additionally, they emphasized a need for an intervention that considered their treatment symptoms as these were a significant barrier to physical activity while on chemotherapy.
conclusionIn this study of older gynecologic cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, most were open to participating in a virtually accessible and symptom-tailored physical activity intervention to promote physical activity during chemotherapy.
