Health-Related Physical Fitness Status and Associated Factors in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Cancer management and research, 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
Background: Breast cancer has the highest incidence among women. Exercise interventions are increasingly recognized as key strategies to prevent and alleviate chemotherapy side effects. Pre-exercise health-related physical fitness (HRPF) assessments are critical forensuring safety. However, investigations on HRPF during chemotherapy and its influencing factors remain limited. Purpose: To evaluate HRPF status and its influencing factors in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, informing tailored exercise rehabilitation programs. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 230 hospitalized breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in a tertiary hospital in Tongling, China. Data included a general information questionnaire, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), and standardized physical measurements across five HRPF dimensions. Results: Descriptive analysis indicated that HRPF levels were suboptimal among participants. Regression analysis identified significant predictors of HRPF, including age, physical activity level, sedentary time, hemoglobin level, menopausal status, breast cancer subtypes and chemotherapy regimen ( Conclusion: The level of HRPF among breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy remains suboptimal. Healthcare professionals should develop individualized exercise rehabilitation programs based on each patient's HRPF status and implement early assessment and intervention strategies targeting modifiable factors to enhance HRPF outcomes.
