Table 1_Exercise interventions for depressive symptoms in adults with lung and digestive c

Eight randomized controlled trials were included in a meta-analysis evaluating the effect of exercise on depressive symptoms in adults with lung or digestive cancer. The analysis, authored by Xiao-xia Shang and last updated in June 2026, found a statistically significant reduction in depressive symptoms post-intervention. The underlying data and full analysis are documented in a 19.8 KB DOCX file.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the efficacy of exercise interventions for depression based on the reported standardized mean difference (SMD = -0.45).
• Comparing the effects of different intervention formats (e.g., individually delivered vs. group) based on subgroup analyses mentioned.
• Investigating the impact of exercise type (e.g., walking-based) on psychological outcomes in specific cancer populations.
• Assessing the relationship between training frequency (e.g., 3–5 times per week) and effect size estimates for depressive symptoms.

Strengths

• Analysis is based on eight randomized controlled trials, a gold-standard study design.
• The work is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting open sharing and adaptation.
• A systematic search was conducted across five major databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus).

Limitations

• The dataset is a 19.8 KB DOCX document; the underlying trial-level data is not provided in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Row count and column-level documentation for any underlying data are unknown.
• Substantial heterogeneity was observed among the included studies, as noted in the results.
