A Scoping Review on Exercise Interventions During Adjuvant Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy for Cancer.
Review in Cureus, 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
Cancer is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy remain the first line of treatment for many different types of cancer. The diagnosis of cancer and its treatment lead to many physical and psychological symptoms. Several types of exercise interventions are available to help alleviate these symptoms. However, there is very little evidence available that provides an overview of all the exercises and outcomes. Hence, the aim of this review is to provide an overview of the various exercise interventions and their outcomes for patients with cancer undergoing adjuvant therapy. PubMed and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) were searched with the following Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms: "Physiotherapy" OR "Physical therapy" OR "Exercise" AND "Adjuvant therapy for cancer" for the last 10 years. Full-text articles describing exercise interventions for patients receiving adjuvant therapy for cancer were included. A total of 40 articles were included in the analysis. The findings of this review suggest that aerobics, strengthening exercises, and the combination of both are the most common types of interventions used. A multimodal therapy that includes aerobics, strengthening, balance, mobility, and flexibility exercises is also commonly used. Apart from this, yoga and relaxation are also being used in cancer patients. The frequently used outcome measures include fatigue, cardiorespiratory fitness, and quality of life (QoL), followed by physical fitness, anthropometric measurements, anxiety and depression, cognitive function, and others. Thus, this review provides an overview of current exercise trends and outcome measures in practice for patients with cancer undergoing adjuvant therapy.
