Obesity and Breast Cancer: A Complex Relationship.
Article in Current surgery reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
As prevalence of obesity continues to rise in the United States, we are beginning to elucidate the complex role of obesity-associated chronic inflammation, endocrine dysfunction, and hormone production as a driver for increased breast cancer risk. Epidemiological data suggest that obesity (BMI > 30) is associated with increased breast cancer incidence, worse prognosis, and higher mortality rates. Mechanistically, obesity and excess fat mass represent a state of chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, adipokine imbalance, and increased estrogen signaling. This pro-tumorigenic environment stimulates cancer development through abnormal growth, proliferation, and survival of mammary tissue. Importantly, obesity is a modifiable risk factor; alterations in cell proliferation, apoptosis, circulating estrogen, and insulin sensitivity are observed in response to weight loss attainable through behavior modification including dietary and exercise changes.
