Research trends on exercise and cancer pain relationships: a bibliometric analysis over the past three decades.
Review 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. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe interplay between exercise and cancer pain management has gained growing research interest globally. This investigation employs bibliometric mapping and visualization techniques to delineate emerging trends and intellectual structure within this domain.
methodsRelevant publications were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) (1900-2024) and analyzed using a suite of bibliometric tools, including CiteSpace, VOSviewer, the R package "bibliometrix," Microsoft Excel 2019, and an online analysis platform.
resultsThe analysis encompassed 2929 publications on exercise and cancer pain, produced by 15,771 authors from 3778 institutions across 90 countries, and published in 1039 journals. The United States (830), China (255), and Australia (203) emerged as the leading contributors, with the United States maintaining a dominant position. Key institutions included the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (49 publications) and the University of British Columbia (138.63 average citations per article). Supportive Care in Cancer was identified as the most influential journal in the field. Keywords such as "symptom management," "patient reported outcomes," "inventory," "case report," "model," "fear," "persistent pain," and "muscle strength" represented potential future research hotspots.
conclusionThis bibliometric review confirms expanding scientific engagement with exercise-based cancer pain management. Research advancement requires multi-center studies, standardized metrics, and mechanistic exploration through biomarker-clinical correlation.
