Kinesiological insights into exercise prescription within oncological prehabilitation: current knowledge and future perspectives.
Article in Frontiers in sports and active living, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Surgery is currently considered one of the cornerstones of cancer care, though postoperative complications remain high and drastically impact on length of hospital stay, mortality, psychophysical recovery, quality of life, and healthcare costs. Preoperative functional capacity has been widely recognized as a reliable predictor of postoperative recovery. In the last 20 years, consistent evidence has shown that multimodal prehabilitation programs integrating tailored physical exercise can effectively improve postoperative outcomes and counteract surgical complications by increasing preoperative physiological reserve and cardiopulmonary efficiency. Nevertheless, field specific research shows substantial heterogeneity and lack of standardization of exercise prescription thus struggling to provide cancer/surgery type-based customization. On this basis, the present perspective article aims to provide a critical analysis of the available literature about exercise prescription within cancer prehabilitation to shed light on the optimal testing and training methodologies and describe the current and future potentialities of kinesiology in this clinical context. Our literature overview highlighted that high-quality multicenter trials applying validated kinesiological parameters/tools are needed to develop effective tailored training interventions, foster accessibility, and evaluate potential long-term benefits of cancer prehabilitation. Furthermore, to address the current knowledge gap and facilitate large-scale implementation of prehabilitation, global public investments should recognize the crucial role of kinesiologists. Indeed, a stable integration of such professional figures into multidisciplinary prehabilitation teams could help meet the multidimensional complex needs of oncological patients and safely promote long-term health benefits.
