Explaining Perceived Priorities in Women with Breast Cancer: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveCancer is a stressful event in life, and the dreadful impact and problems created for patients and families<br /> by cancer negatively affect their quality of life. Therefore, regarding the increasing number of cancer patients and the<br /> nature of this disease, the need to recognize and understand the priorities and problems of patients after the diagnosis of<br /> cancer is of high importance. This study was designed and implemented with the aim of identifying the perceived<br /> priorities of women with breast cancer.
methodsThis study is a qualitative research of content analysis type. To collect<br /> data, purposeful sampling and deep semi-structured individual interviews were used. The subjects were women with<br /> breast cancer who visited the Breast Disease Research Center of Shahid Motahari Clinic in Shiraz, and the data were<br /> saturated after 15 interviews. The four criteria presented by Lincken and Guba were used to evaluate the validity and<br /> reliability. To analyze the qualitative data, conventional qualitative data analysis and MAXQDA10 software were used.<br /> Two themes were obtained in the assessment of interviews and analysis of data: 1) Supportive relief; 2) Therapeutic<br /> support.
resultsSome of the participants highlighted the role of social and family support in coping with the disease,<br /> and considered social communication and continued support in the form of empathic relationship as a turning point<br /> in their lives. The absence of a fertility specialist in the cancer treatment system was the main complaint of most<br /> participants. The results showed that receiving support from family and the healthcare system is the most important<br /> perceived priorities in breast cancer patients.
conclusionThe results of this study show the importance of social support<br /> as a perceived priority in breast cancer patients to improve their quality of life. Development and reinforcement of the<br /> supportive network seem to be essential to provide the best possible help to these patients.
