Prevalence and associated factors of poor lifestyle behaviours in survivors of childhood cancer: a PanCareFollowUp substudy.
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
purposePoor lifestyle behaviours may contribute to the development or worsening of late effects after childhood cancer. The aims of this study were to determine the baseline prevalence and associated factors of poor lifestyle behaviours among childhood cancer survivors of the European PanCareFollowUp study cohort.
methodsIn Belgium, Sweden, Czechia, and Italy, 812 childhood cancer survivors were recruited. Outcomes were self-reported poor lifestyle behaviours, defined as low physical activity (<75 min of vigorous or <150 min of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week), current smoking (yes/no), alcohol consumption (≥3 units of alcohol per week), and drug use in the past year (yes/no). The prevalence of poor lifestyle behaviours was calculated and associations with sociodemographic characteristics, cancer history, physical health, pain, fatigue, and survivors' level of empowerment were estimated using multivariable logistic regression analyses.
resultsFor these analyses, 777 participants were included, of whom 27% of survivors reported low physical activity, 15% smoked, 19% consumed ≥3 units of alcohol per week, and 9% used drugs in the past year. The smoking prevalence differed per country and was highest among survivors from Czechia (23%) and Italy (22%) and lowest in Belgium (10%) and Sweden (5%). Associated factors with any of the four poor lifestyle behaviours included male sex, lower educational attainment, reduced physical health, pain, and fatigue.
conclusionsStudy results show that survivors in each of the four countries may benefit from personalised interventions to promote healthier behaviours, and that reduced physical health, pain, and fatigue may present modifiable targets. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: These findings can be used to develop targeted lifestyle interventions, thereby optimising survivors' lifestyle behaviours, health outcomes, and quality of life.
