Data Sheet 1_Effects of ACSM guideline–based exercise on patients with lung cancer: a syst

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 32 randomized controlled trials investigating the effects of exercise on lung cancer patients. The study, authored by Jiangxin Guo and uploaded in April 2026, pools standardized mean differences for outcomes like quality of life, fatigue, anxiety, depression, pain, and sleep. The analysis classifies interventions by their adherence to American College of Sports Medicine guidelines.

Use Cases

• Comparing the efficacy of high vs. low adherence to ACSM exercise guidelines based on the subgroup analyses described.
• Analyzing the pooled effect sizes (SMDs) for quality of life and symptom burden outcomes from the meta-analysis.
• Assessing study quality and publication bias using the RoB 2 tool and Begg's/Egger's tests as described in the methods.

Strengths

• Includes 32 randomized controlled trials, with 18 classified as having high adherence to ACSM guidelines.
• Reports specific pooled effect sizes (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals and p-values for multiple clinical outcomes.
• Uses a systematic methodology with a registered protocol (CRD420251249211) and standard risk-of-bias assessment.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 278.4 KB DOCX file; the underlying tabular meta-analysis data is not directly accessible.
• Row count and column-level documentation for the extracted study data are unknown.
• Freshness should be verified; the last update date is in the future (2026-04-15).
