Physical activity and sedentary behavior in patients during acute recovery from hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

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
purposeHematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients experience symptoms that can impact physical functioning. Little research has examined physical activity levels during acute recovery following HSCT. The present study aimed to examine physical activity during acute recovery post-HSCT and to identify demographic and clinical characteristics associated with physical activity during acute recovery post-HSCT.
methodsWe conducted a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data from HSCT-recipients at approximately + 100 days post-HSCT. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire; study staff collected clinical information from the health record. Physical activity was measured using accelerometry (i.e., ActiGraph wGT3X-BT). We used univariate analyses to examine the relationship between demographic and clinical factors and physical activity.
resultsThe present study included 63 participants (mean age = 61, 50.8% female, 92.1% White). Most participants completed college (68.3%) and earned a household yearly income > $75,000 (66.7%). On average, participants spent 13 min per day participating in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity with a total of 81 min weekly. Daily step count was 3679, and weekly average was 23,094. Participants with a college education or higher and yearly income > $75,000 engaged in more physical activity.
conclusionHSCT recipients in acute recovery do not meet American Cancer Society recommended levels of physical activity. Those with fewer years of education and with lower income were at greater risk of low physical activity. Study findings identify potentially vulnerable cohorts of HSCT survivors at risk for low physical activity and indicate that future interventions to increase physical activity are warranted.
