Factors Influencing Quality of Life in Breast Cancer Patients Six Months after the Completion of Chemotherapy.
Article in Diseases (Basel, Switzerland), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04176809 (Impact of Routine Assessment of Health-Related Quality of Life Coupled With Therapeutic Information on Compliance With Endocrine Therapy in Patients With Non-metastatic Breast Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 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.

Abstract
purposeTo assess breast cancer patients' quality of life six months after the completion of adjuvant chemotherapy, and to investigate factors affecting this.
methodsThe study was conducted in one large hospital located in a major Greek city. A convenience sample of 61 breast cancer outpatients was recruited. A questionnaire, including the SF-36 scale and questions regarding demographic and clinical information, was used to collect data.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 51.52 ± 12.10. The effect of age on the physical role was significant (
conclusionsQuality of life is affected by factors such as age, menopausal status, and previous therapy. Health care professionals should be more aware of the factors that influence the quality of life domains (physical role, bodily pain, vitality) within this group of cancer patients in order to meet their needs following acute treatment.
