Japan's cancer survivorship guidelines for exercise and physical activity.
Article in Japanese journal of clinical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThis research aimed to establish the inaugural evidence-based cancer survivorship guidelines for Japan, with a particular focus on exercise and physical activity, in order to enhance health outcomes for cancer survivors.
methodsA panel of experts, including oncologists, physicians, exercise scientists, epidemiologists and patient advocates, utilized a modified Delphi process and systematic reviews to establish consensus on exercise recommendations for cancer survivors. The panel focused on setting the objectives of the Clinical Practice Guidelines and addressing crucial clinical issues in Japan. Recommendations were formulated based on the strength and certainty of evidence, the benefit-harm balance and patient values and preferences.
resultsThe panel formulated exercise recommendations for cancer survivors of two age groups: 18-64 years and ≥65 years. The recommendations for both age groups are consistent, emphasizing the importance of regular exercise and physical activity tailored to individual capabilities and health conditions. The guidelines underline the benefits of exercise in improving the overall health and quality of life of cancer survivors. This consensus on exercise recommendations marks a significant step in the development of comprehensive cancer survivorship guidelines in Japan, with potential implications for improving clinical outcomes and advancing research in cancer survivorship.
conclusionsThese guidelines will serve as a critical resource for cancer survivors, highlighting exercise as a key component of survivorship care, and for clinicians, in recommending appropriate physical activities to improve survivor health and well-being.
