Perspectives of postmenopausal breast cancer survivors on adjuvant endocrine therapy-related symptoms.
Article in Oncology nursing forum, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
PURPOSE/
objectivesTo conduct an investigation of women's experiences related to adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) and managing AET-related symptoms. RESEARCH APPROACH: Qualitative, focus group design.
settingMain campus of the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.
participants14 breast cancer survivors, aged 50 years or older, with AET-related symptoms. METHODOLOGIC APPROACH: Semistructured discussion guides were used to elicit recollections of conversations with healthcare providers about starting AET, symptom experiences, symptom management, and suggestions for improving management. Audiotaped discussions were transcribed and analyzed to identify themes.
findingsWomen reported that, initially, AET was not viewed as a choice, but rather as the necessary next step to save their lives. After starting AET, women experienced difficulties making sense of, communicating about, and managing unanticipated AET-related symptoms. Women who experienced persistently bothersome symptoms began weighing the pros and cons of AET to decide whether to continue treatment.
conclusionsFocus group findings suggest multiple opportunities to better prepare patients for AET and to improve assessment and management of AET-related symptoms.
interpretationBy exploring AET-related symptom experiences, nurses may be able to promote AET adherence in breast cancer survivors.
