1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionThe increase in breast cancer survival poses a challenge for patients to be able to rejoin their professional and social life in very similar conditions to those before diagnosis. The aim of this study is to assess short- and medium-term social, economic and professional impact of BC among women diagnosed with it.

methodsA cross-sectional descriptive study using QLQ-C30, QLQ-BR23, and MOS-SSS instruments and a semi-structured interview in women diagnosed in years 2011, 2014, and 2016 in Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau in Barcelona (Spain).

results175 patients were included with a mean age of 55. About 62.8% were married or coupled, 76% were living with their family unit, and 52.6% denied changes in their living situation. The mean Support Global Index was 74.7% and 78.8% before and after diagnosis, respectively. The mean global quality of life (QOL) was 67.3%, outstanding insomnia as the main symptom (X > 30%) and sexual function as the most affected dimension. At the moment of diagnosis, two-thirds of patients were working. After diagnosis, 87.5% stopped working, 39.4% were off work for 7-12 months, and only 50% returned to work. Multivariate analysis identified working as the most associated variable with a good QOL.

conclusionsQOL among women diagnosed with breast cancer is quite high and stable. Nevertheless, there are some very relevant aspects to QOL that need to be considered whilst caring for patients with BC to achieve rehabilitation as complete and comprehensive as possible.
