Was race a factor in the outcomes of the Women's Health Eating and Living Study?
Trial report in Cancer, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00003787 (Dietary Intervention in Women Who Have Been Treated For Stage I, Stage II, or Stage III Breast Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 34 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
backgroundThe objective of this study was to determine whether women who were participating in the Women's Healthy Eating and Living (WHEL) Study exhibited similar dietary changes, second breast cancer events, and overall survival regardless of race/ethnicity.
methodsFor this secondary analysis, the authors used data from 3013 women who were self-identified as Asian American, African American, Hispanic, or white and who were assigned randomly to a dietary intervention or a comparison group. Changes in dietary intake over time by race/ethnicity and intervention status were examined using linear mixed-effects models. Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine the effects of the intervention on the occurrence of second breast cancer events and overall survival. Statistical tests were 2-sided.
resultsAfrican Americans and Hispanics consumed significantly more calories from fat (+3.2%) and less fruit (-0.7 servings daily) than Asians and whites at baseline (all P < .01). Overall, intervention participants significantly improved their dietary pattern from baseline to the end of Year 1, reducing calories from fat by 4.9% and increasing intake of fiber (+6.6 grams daily), fruit (+1.1 servings daily), and vegetables (+1.6 servings daily; all P < .05). Despite improvements in the overall dietary pattern of these survivors, the intervention did not significantly influence second breast cancer events or overall survival.
conclusionsOverall, all racial groups significantly improved their dietary pattern over time, but the maintenance of these behaviors were lower among African-American women. More research and larger minority samples are needed to determine the specific factors that improve breast cancer-specific outcomes in diverse populations of survivors.
