Meta-Analysis of Exercise Effects on Lung Cancer Patients, 32 Studies

32 randomized controlled trials were analyzed in a systematic review and meta-analysis assessing the impact of exercise on lung cancer patients. The study, authored by Jiangxin Guo and last updated in April 2026, pools standardized mean differences for outcomes like quality of life, fatigue, anxiety, and depression, comparing high versus low adherence to ACSM guidelines.

Use Cases

• Training models to predict the effect size of exercise interventions on patient-reported outcomes like quality of life.
• Conducting subgroup analysis on clinical trial data based on guideline adherence levels.
• Benchmarking new clinical trial results against pooled meta-analysis estimates for fatigue or pain relief.

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., SMD=0.44 for quality of life).
• Study quality was assessed using the revised Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (RoB 2).

Limitations

• The dataset is a 29.5 KB DOCX file; its scope is limited to summary statistics from the meta-analysis, not raw trial data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for direct machine learning application.
