Retrospective analysis of the effect of breast surgery on body posture in patients with early-stage breast cancer after cancer treatment (VENUS study) (Breast cancer and body posture)
Article in Turkish journal of medical sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background/aim: The aim of this study was to determine whether breast surgery changes body posture in patients with early-stage breast cancer. Materials and methods: Study variables include age, side and localization of the tumor in the breast, applied breast surgery, axillary interference, pathological tumor size, axillary lymph node metastasis, body mass index, bone density, adjuvant therapies, and histological type. Thoracic kyphosis angle due to the anatomically affected primary region to detect changes in body posture and Cobb’s method were used to measure this. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the mean Cobb’s angle between the follow-up times of 57 patients (P < 0.001), with a cumulative increase in the Cobb’s angle from baseline to the second year. As the age of the diagnosis progressed, the Cobb’s angle increased significantly at 2 years when compared to baseline (r = 0,616, P < 0,001). In terms of baseline, the higher the BMI level in the 2nd year, the higher the Cobb’s angle in the 2nd year as compared to the baseline (r = 0,529, P < 0,001). Conclusion: It was concluded that the increase in thoracic kyphosis in patients with breast cancer should be examined psychosocially. The study should be supported by a larger number of patients.
