Optimal Supportive Care for Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer According to Their Disease Progression Phase.
Review in JCO oncology practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
The clinical progression patterns of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) are heterogeneous; patients experience acute and stable phases at different time points. The acute phase consists of rapid progressive symptomatic changes, whereas in the stable phase, patients have relatively low symptom burden. Therefore, personalized interdisciplinary care is essential. The optimal palliative or supportive care in MBC is to provide comprehensive care that is individually prioritized to the patient's disease status. The purpose of this review is to provide a practical guide for oncologists to understand the priorities for supportive care for patients with MBC in the two phases. We note that for better decision making in patient care, performance status should be broadened to consider not only physical status but also psychosocial needs and cognitive condition. We summarize the clinical importance of physical symptom control, psychosocial support, physical activity, nutrition support, and advance care planning. For optimal care, we present palliative or supportive care checklists according to the disease progression phase, combining the limited evidence with expert input. In the acute phase, close monitoring of the patient's status and symptom management take priority. In the stable phase, the focus can shift to maintenance or improvement of physical strength and emotional condition. Finally, we discuss future directions and unmet needs in providing the best supportive care for patients with MBC.
