Cancer survivors' interests and preferences for muscle-strengthening activity interventions.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 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
purposeMuscle-strengthening activities (MSA) are associated with improved health outcomes in cancer survivors. Yet, less than 20% of cancer survivors report meeting MSA guidelines (i.e., full body MSA ≥ 2 times/week). Technology-supported MSA interventions may enhance adherence to activity guidelines. This study examined cancer survivors' interests and preferences for MSA interventions.
methodsPost-treatment cancer survivors [N = 556; Mage = 56.5(SD = 14.7); 53.6% female; 49.3% met MSA guidelines] within 5 years of diagnosis completed questionnaires to assess MSA participation and interests, and preferences for MSA interventions. A subset (n = 30; 50% met MSA guidelines) was randomly selected to complete a semi-structured interview. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using an iterative thematic content analysis approach and consensus review.
resultsParticipants indicated they would be interested in participating in a MSA (67.6%) intervention tailored to cancer survivors, but preferences varied across potential features. Five themes captured participant preferences from interview data: (1) Participants believe MSA interventions could be useful for improving health and physical functioning; (2) Many multi-level barriers and facilitators to MSA participation exist; (3) Prior experience with MSA guided current intervention preferences; (4) Desire for support and accountability; (5) Need for convenient, flexible interventions with varied preferences for delivery modality, structure, and personalization.
conclusionsCancer survivors are interested in MSA interventions, but preferences for intervention features vary. Results from this study can help inform future MSA intervention development to create acceptable, feasible, and effective programs.
