Characteristics related to depressive symptoms change for all cancer survivors.

NOTE: Weighted mean effect size values (d+) are negative when the exercise intervention reduced depression compared to the control group.
aLevels represent values of interest of each moderator; in these models, continuous variables were represented in their continuous form; the estimates adjust for the other moderators in the model.
bd+ and their 95% CI estimates statistically adjust for the presence of the rest of the moderators in the fixed-effects model, including weekly minutes of exercise×PEDro interaction and their independent linear terms, supervision of exercise, quadratic and linear trends for age, held constant at their means except for the study dimension in question.
cβ values are standardized.
dThis is a continuous×continuous interaction. We chose to report PEDro scores of 5 and 10 to highlight the variability along the continuous distribution of PEDro scores, those of very high quality (i.e., 10) versus those of low quality (i.e., 5).
eβ for interaction. Independent β: weekly aerobic volume, β = −0.09; PEDro methodological score, β = −0.28.
fContinuous quadratic trend including linear component.
