Understanding Nutritional Problems of Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients: Opportunities for Supportive Care Through eHealth.
Article in Cancer nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundMetastatic breast cancer patients are now living longer but cope with potential symptoms of metastatic disease and prolonged cancer treatment. Nutrition can play a vital role in managing these sequelae, and eHealth tools are emerging as promising delivery options for nutrition interventions.
objectiveTo qualitatively assess nutritional problems and concerns of women with metastatic breast cancer and to explore how to address these problems within an existing eHealth platform.
methodsSemistructured interviews were conducted with 21 women with metastatic breast cancer participating in an ongoing eHealth study. Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using a team-based content analysis approach.
resultsMost respondents reported currently or previously experiencing nutritional problems due to adverse effects of cancer treatment or the disease itself; these were rarely addressed during routine clinical care. Five major themes emerged: (1) knowledge about nutrition, (2) nutrition information-seeking, (3) social aspects of nutrition, (4) nutrition interest, and (5) how to address nutrition with an eHealth platform. The respondents reported diverse experiences and perspectives regarding nutrition and diet in the context of metastatic breast cancer within each theme.
conclusionFindings indicate the importance of providing women with metastatic breast cancer with information about nutrition that is tailored to their specific disease, as these patients report both nutritional problems and uncertainty regarding nutritional strategies. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: These findings are a first step toward designing supportive care interventions that could fill the gap related to nutritional concerns not addressed during routine clinical care.
