Physical Activity Discussions as the First Step Towards Movement in Non-Curative Cancer Care: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDue to advances in technology, non-curative cancer patients are living longer with the burden of the disease. Physical activity (PA) has value as a supportive service for individuals at any point on the cancer care continuum, including advanced cancer.
objectivesThe objective of this study was to understand how oncology care providers (OCPs), family/friend caregivers, and health system decision makers can include conversations of PA into care for those living with non-curative cancer.
methodsWe conducted 24 semi-structured interviews guided by the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behaviour (COM-B) model and further refined them using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF). The data were then analyzed using a directed content analysis, with a codebook generated based on the TDF.
resultsFindings highlighted the need for targeted education and effective communication to address knowledge gaps, motivation-enhancing strategies to overcome emotional barriers, and streamlined referral processes to address systemic barriers to PA across the cancer care journey.
conclusionsThere is an ongoing need to support individuals in living well, which involves not only addressing their immediate cancer diagnoses but also promoting overall health. This can be performed through PA, supported by their OCPs. This study further emphasizes the inclusion of PA discussions in cancer care.
