Physical activity levels and influencing factors among colorectal cancer patients: A cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC psychology, 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
backgroundNumerous studies have reported that a majority of colorectal cancer patients in China have low levels of physical activity. Early identification of relevant factors is beneficial for formulating physical activity interventions. This study aimed to describe the status of physical activity in colorectal cancer patients and determine psychosocial predictors of low levels of physical activity.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey of 230 hospitalized patients with colorectal cancer in a tertiary hospital in Hubei Province. The research utilized a self-designed general information questionnaire, International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ), and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) as assessment tools. SPSS 25.0 was used for descriptive statistical analysis, Chi-squared test, Student's t-test, and binary logistic regression analysis.
resultsThe prevalence of low physical activity among colorectal cancer patients was 52.5%. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that monthly per capita household income of 3000-5000 yuan (OR = 0.274, 95% CI: 0.080-0.942), monthly per capita household income > 5000 yuan (OR = 0.191, 95% CI: 0.037-0.992), duration of diagnosis between 7 and 12 months (OR = 0.132, 95% CI: 0.030-0.587), social support score (OR = 0.802, 95% CI: 0.679-0.947), illness perception score (OR = 1.136, 95% CI: 1.019-1.266), and posttraumatic growth scores (OR = 0.915, 95% CI: 0.847-0.989) were independent predictors of physical activity in colorectal cancer patients.
conclusionsOverall, colorectal cancer patients in China have low levels of physical activity. These findings may provide valuable insights for healthcare professionals to identify individuals with low levels of physical activity and to develop effective intervention strategies. In future clinical practice, healthcare providers can promote physical activity in colorectal cancer patients through interventions aimed at enhancing social interactions, improving proper knowledge and understanding of the disease, and fostering posttraumatic growth.
