Dissemination planning in exercise oncology trials-a systematic review of trial protocols.
Synthesis in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2025. 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
purposeThe paucity of exercise rehabilitation services for cancer survivors indicates a research-to-practice gap. Dissemination and Implementation research addresses this gap by focusing on the adoption, implementation, and sustainability of evidence-based interventions. Dissemination, the active process of sharing research findings, is critical to the implementation of evidence-based practice. This systematic review examined adherence of exercise oncology trial protocols to the SPIRIT 2013 checklist items pertaining to dissemination planning, items 31a, 31b, and 31c, which address how dissemination is planned, authorship eligibility is considered, and what plans are in place to share data and the protocol.
methodsA systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. EMBASE, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science-Core Collection, Google Scholar, and the Central Trial Registry via Cochrane were searched (16/05/2024). Title and abstract screening, full-text review, and data extraction were completed in duplicate.
resultsEighty-six trial protocols were included, thirty-one (36.1%) did not report dissemination plans. Item 31 was reported as follows (n = number of trials, frequency (%)); 31a plans to communicate trial results to: participants (n = 19, 22.1%), healthcare professionals (n = 43, 50%), the public (n = 25, 29.2%), and other relevant groups (n = 22, 25.6%), 31b: author eligibility (n = 3, 3.5%) and plans regarding use of professional writers (n = 4, 4.7%), and 31c plans for granting access to participant level dataset (n = 28, 32.6%), full protocol (n = 1, 1.2%) and statistical code (n = 1, 1.2%). Peer-reviewed journal (n = 41, 47.67%) and conferences/professional meetings (n = 38, 44.2%) were the most frequently reported planned dissemination strategies.
conclusionReporting of the SPIRIT 2013 checklist Item 31 is generally low in exercise oncology trial protocols. Greater consideration of dissemination planning is required to support the implementation of exercise oncology research into practice. REGISTRATION: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/M8HFP.
