Meta-Analysis Data on ACSM Guideline-Based Exercise for Lung Cancer Patients

A 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis by Jiangxin Guo, aggregating results from 32 randomized controlled trials. The study assesses the impact of exercise adherence to ACSM guidelines on quality of life, fatigue, pain, anxiety, and depression in lung cancer patients. The supplementary file contains the analysis data and results.

Use Cases

• Validate the effect size of exercise on quality of life based on the reported standardized mean differences.
• Compare intervention efficacy between high and low adherence subgroups for outcomes like fatigue and pain.
• Replicate or extend the meta-analysis methodology using the pooled data from 32 studies.
• Investigate the relationship between guideline adherence and psychological outcomes like anxiety and depression.

Strengths

• Analysis is based on 32 randomized controlled trials, providing a substantial evidence base.
• Results include specific standardized mean differences and confidence intervals for multiple outcomes (e.g., quality of life SMD=0.44).
• Study quality was assessed using the revised Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (RoB 2).

Limitations

• The dataset is a 13.6 KB DOCX file, suggesting limited raw data; likely contains summary tables rather than patient-level records.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the manuscript text.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative modeling.
