Exercise amounts, barriers, and preferences among patients with cancer.
Observational study in Medicine, 2026. 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
This study analyzed exercise amounts, preferences, and barriers among individuals without cancer (Group 1), individuals diagnosed with colorectal, breast, endometrial, or prostate cancer within the past 5 years (Group 2), and those diagnosed >5 years ago (Group 3) in China. We included individuals aged 18 to 75 from a Chinese university hospital in 2021. Groups 1, 2, and 3 comprised 162, 154, and 157 individuals, respectively. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using analysis of variance, Chi-square analysis, correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis. Patients with cancer and survivors reported lower amounts of total, moderate-intensity, and vigorous-intensity exercise than healthy individuals, whereas no difference existed in the amount of low-intensity exercise. The exercise barriers differed significantly among the 3 groups, except for psychological barriers. Exercise preferences also differed significantly among the 3 groups. Multiple regression analysis identified physical barriers, family-related barriers, and preferences for exercise venue, intensity, and type as significant predictors of total exercise amount. It is vital to address long-term exercise barriers faced by patients with cancer and survivors, especially those diagnosed within the last 5 years, who show more physical limitations, fewer resources, and lower motivation. Tailored strategies should consider survivors' preferences to promote exercise participation.
