"It Will Only Work If Everyone is on Board": A Needs and Context Assessment to Inform Exercise Oncology Implementation Within a Public Healthcare Organisation.
Article in Asia-Pacific journal of clinical oncology, 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
introductionExercise has well-established benefits across the cancer continuum for people living with and beyond cancer, yet the exercise oncology field faces a research-to-practice gap. Understanding the factors that influence implementation in any given context is essential to ensure implementation strategies have the greatest likelihood of success. The study mapped onsite exercise oncology services, staff-reported implementation barriers and facilitators, organisational readiness, and experiences reported by people living with or beyond cancer, across a large public healthcare organisation.
methodsStaff and people living with and beyond cancer across cancer care centres within the public healthcare organisation completed an online survey. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and manifest content analysis.
resultsAcross 10 regions, 115 participants completed the survey (59 staff and 56 people living with and beyond cancer). Although both groups valued and viewed exercise as important, organisation-wide and region-specific constraints were evident, particularly the absence of onsite exercise professionals and absent or unclear referral pathways. Among people living with and beyond cancer, 54% received an exercise discussion and 13% received a referral.
conclusionAcross the organisation, strong support for exercise did not translate into action, as mainly outer and inner setting barriers restricted routine discussions, referrals and service delivery. Although regions within the same organisation shared several contextual factors, region-specific conditions that hindered or facilitated implementation were present. Findings reinforce that the development of implementation strategies and plans depends on a clear understanding of the context in which they will occur. These findings are informing an implementation plan in a pilot region.
