The importance of meeting physical activity recommendations and limiting sedentary time in adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia - associations with fatigue and HRQoL.
Article in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 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
purposeThe aim was to investigate physical activity levels and associations between physical activity levels, sedentary time, fatigue, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
methodThis national cross-sectional study included 426 adult survivors of childhood ALL (diagnosed 1985-2007, 49% women, median age 32 [min-max 19-49]), who completed a questionnaire on physical activity (BHW-Q), sedentary time (SED-GIH-Q), fatigue (MFI-20), and HRQoL (SF-36). Associations were analyzed using linear regression.
resultsOverall, 44% of participants did not meet physical activity recommendations. Median weekly duration of vigorous-intensity and moderate-intensity activity was 45 min (Q1-Q3 15-105) and 120 min (Q1-Q3 45-175), respectively. Median sedentary time was 8 h per day (Q1-Q3 5-11). Not meeting recommendations was significantly associated with greater fatigue (total MFI-20 score β = 1.7, 95% CI 0.1 to 3.3, p = 0.033) and lower physical and mental health components of HRQoL (SF-36 PCS β = -3.3, 95% CI -5 to -1.5, p < 0.001; SF-36 MCS β = -4.2, 95% CI -6 to -1.8, p < 0.001). Sedentary time ≥ 7 h per day was significantly associated with lower mental HRQoL (SF-36 MCS β = -3.6, 95% CI -5.9 to -1.2, p = 0.003).
conclusionMany adult survivors of childhood ALL had insufficient levels of physical activity and accumulated considerable sedentary time. Insufficient physical activity was associated with greater fatigue and lower HRQoL, while greater sedentary time was associated with lower mental HRQoL. However, given the cross-sectional design, causality cannot be inferred. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Physical activity promotion is a potential strategy to reduce fatigue and enhance HRQoL among adult survivors of childhood ALL.
