A Pooled Analysis of Breastfeeding and Breast Cancer Risk by Hormone Receptor Status in Parous Hispanic Women.
Article in Epidemiology (Cambridge, Mass.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundData on breastfeeding and breast cancer risk are sparse and inconsistent for Hispanic women.
methodsPooling data for nearly 6,000 parous Hispanic women from four population-based studies conducted between 1995 and 2007 in the United States and Mexico, we examined the association of breastfeeding with risk of breast cancer overall and subtypes defined by estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) status, and the joint effects of breastfeeding, parity, and age at first birth. We calculated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using logistic regression.
resultsAmong parous Hispanic women, older age at first birth was associated with increased breast cancer risk, whereas parity was associated with reduced risk. These associations were found for hormone receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer only and limited to premenopausal women. Age at first birth and parity were not associated with risk of ER- and PR- breast cancer. Increasing duration of breastfeeding was associated with decreasing breast cancer risk (≥25 vs. 0 months: OR = 0.73; 95% CI = 0.60, 0.89; Ptrend = 0.03), with no heterogeneity by menopausal status or subtype. At each parity level, breastfeeding further reduced HR+ breast cancer risk. Additionally, breastfeeding attenuated the increase in risk of HR+ breast cancer associated with older age at first birth.
conclusionsOur findings suggest that breastfeeding is associated with reduced risk of both HR+ and ER- and PR- breast cancer among Hispanic women, as reported for other populations, and may attenuate the increased risk in women with a first pregnancy at older ages.
