Clinical Report: Correction to Pilot Tele-Exercise Trial in Breast Cancer Survivors

Overview

The correction notice addresses two production and affiliation errors in the published pilot randomized trial of home-based and group-based tele-exercise for breast cancer survivors. It removes a duplicated affiliation, updates affiliation numbering, and restores the intended two-panel Figure 3; all other manuscript content is unchanged.

Background

The underlying study evaluated home-based and group-based tele-exercise for breast cancer survivors in a pilot randomized controlled trial. The correction notice does not report new trial outcomes or changes to the study methods. It explains that a duplicated affiliation was removed and that a production formatting problem caused one panel of Figure 3 to be omitted from the published article. The corrected article and figure were posted online and resubmitted to PubMed, PubMed Central, and other full-text repositories.

Data Highlights

This correction notice reports no new numerical or trial outcome data. It documents two amendments: removal of a duplicated affiliation with renumbering, and restoration of Figure 3 with panels A and B.

Key Findings

• The notice concerns the pilot randomized trial of home-based and group-based tele-exercise for breast cancer survivors.
• Affiliation 2 duplicated affiliation 1 and was deleted; the remaining affiliations were renumbered.
• A production formatting problem resulted in only one of the two intended Figure 3 panels appearing in the original publication.
• The correction reinstates Figure 3 with both panels, labeled A and B.
• The notice states that all other manuscript content is unchanged.
• The corrected article was posted on the JMIR Publications website and resubmitted to PubMed, PubMed Central, and other full-text repositories.

Clinical Implications

The correction notice does not alter the trial’s reported findings or provide new clinical recommendations. Readers consulting the article should refer to its corrected online version for the complete Figure 3 and updated affiliation information.

Conclusion

This notice corrects affiliation information and restores the omitted panel of Figure 3 in the published tele-exercise trial. No other manuscript content was changed.
