Longitudinal Profiles and Predictors of Physical Activity in Cancer Survivors Post-Exercise Intervention: A 5-Year Follow-Up of the Phys-Can RCT.
Trial report in Integrative cancer therapies. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundRegular physical activity improves health outcomes in cancer survivors; however, maintaining recommended levels of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) post-treatment is challenging, even for those participating in exercise intervention studies. Understanding long-term MVPA patterns and predictors can guide strategies to promote sustained physical activity in this population. We aimed to describe objectively measured MVPA-profiles over 5 years in cancer survivors who participated in a 6-month exercise intervention during cancer treatment, and to identify baseline predictors of profile belonging.
methodsData were derived from the multicenter randomized controlled trial Phys-Can, including participants with breast, colorectal or prostate cancer. Objective measures of MVPA were conducted at baseline, post-intervention, and at 1-, 2-, and 5-year follow-ups. Longitudinal latent profile analysis was used to identify MVPA profiles, and multinomial logistic regression to examine potential baseline predictors of profile belonging.
resultsAmong 556 participants, 4 longitudinal MVPA profiles were identified:
conclusionCancer survivors who are women or have a higher BMI and/or low cardiorespiratory fitness prior to cancer treatment are at greater risk of maintaining low MVPA levels over time. These groups may require targeted support to enhance and sustain physical activity during survivorship.
