Acceptability and functional benefits of a health promotion program in pediatric oncology: a mixed-methods study.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: The increasing number of childhood cancer survivors and their well-established risk of cancer-related morbidity strongly support the need for effective health promotion (HP) programs. Existing literature suggests that HP interventions may support behaviour change and reduce the severity of some adverse effects associated with cancer and its treatments. However, uncertainty remains regarding the acceptability of these interventions to families during the cancer journey and their effectiveness in improving children's functional outcomes. This study aimed to assess the acceptability of a HP program from the perspective of families affected by cancer and to explore whether participation in the program was associated with improved functional outcomes compared to standard care. Methods: A mixed-methods study was used. Acceptability was assessed through questionnaires completed by parents ( Results: The HP program was perceived as acceptable and positively influenced participants' experiences during the cancer journey. Families described the program as supportive, motivating, and emotionally meaningful. However, no statistically significant differences in functional outcomes were observed between the intervention and control group. Conclusion: Preliminary findings support the acceptability of implementing a HP program in a pediatric oncology clinical setting and suggest that a full-scale trial is warranted. Further research is needed to better understand how HP interventions can be optimized to improve functional outcomes among children and adolescents affected by cancer.
