Attitudes, beliefs and preferences surrounding home-based exercise programs in endometrial cancer patients receiving treatment.
Article in Gynecologic oncology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Despite recommendations, exercise participation among endometrial cancer survivors remains low. Previous interventions focused on weight loss or in-person programs with limited reach. Regular exercise, regardless of weight change, reduces mortality risk and improves functionality. Home-based programs could address participation barriers. We conducted a qualitative study with inactive survivors to identify key factors for future home-based exercise programs. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten on-treatment endometrial cancer survivors who reported low physical activity levels. Interviews, conducted via Zoom or telephone, were recorded with consent. Transcripts were coded using MAXQDA to identify attitudes, knowledge, barriers, interests, and preferences regarding home-based exercise programs. Results: The interviews yielded four major themes, the first being the understanding survivors have of what exercise is and the perceived benefits of exercise. Second, participants were acutely aware of the barriers to exercise which included: health issues, treatment-related concerns, access to resources, limited strength, lack of support, and past negative experiences. The third theme focused on motivational factors to exercise including guidance, support systems, access to resources including technology, and a desire to be healthy as motivators towards changing exercise behaviors. Finally, participants expressed interest in exercise that incorporated fun with low impact and accessibility. Interestingly, all the participants preferred home-based exercise programs. The role of the provider/oncologist was often identified as central to the discussion or suggestion of exercise in our sample. Conclusions: Understanding patient needs and preferences is crucial for creating accessible and sustainable exercise programs for endometrial cancer survivors. Our study guides the development of future home-based exercise programs for this population.
