A longitudinal study of physical activity in patients with breast cancer: A latent transition analysis.

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
Objective: To identify physical activity (PA) subgroups among patients with breast cancer, examine transition probabilities between groups over time, and determine influencing factors for targeted rehabilitation. Methods: Using convenience sampling, PA was assessed in 204 patients with breast cancer from three Shanghai tertiary hospitals between May 2022 and December 2023. Data were collected at diagnosis (T0), during chemotherapy (T1), and at 3-month (T2) and 6-month (T3) follow-ups after chemotherapy. Tools included a general information questionnaire, the short-form International Physical Activity Questionnaire and the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale. Latent transition analysis (LTA) identified PA trajectories and explore factors. Results: LTA identified three PA categories: "Moderate-to-Vigorous PA Compliance (MVC) Group", "Walking-based PA Compliance (WC) Group" and "Sedentary Lifestyle (SL) Group". MVC Group demonstrated high stability from T1 to T2 (100%) and T2 to T3 (99.8%). WC Group was likely to transition to MVC Group from T1 to T2 (53.9%) but largely reverted by T3 (47.3%). SL Group had a higher probability of transitioning to MVC Group from T1 to T2 (54.1%) and was likely to remain there at T3 (61.1%). Transition probabilities highlight a critical intervention window from chemotherapy initiation to 3 months after chemotherapy. Influencing factors included exercise self-efficacy, education level, average monthly income, and current chemotherapy course ( Conclusions: Three distinct PA patterns emerged, highlighting a critical intervention window from chemotherapy initiation to 3 months after chemotherapy. PA declined during chemotherapy but increased afterward, emphasizing the need for personalized strategies to sustain long-term improvement.
