Sleep and endocrine therapy in breast cancer.
Article in Current opinion in endocrine and metabolic research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Sleep disturbances and insomnia are common among breast cancer survivors, and can have a significant effect on quality of life and numerous other significant outcomes. Among risks for sleep disturbance is the introduction of anti-estrogen endocrine therapies. The possible contributing factors to sleep disturbance in endocrine therapy are complex, and include pre-existing sleep disorders, the effects of chemotherapy and other treatments, and concurrent symptoms such as hot flashes. In addition, sleep disturbance in menopause, the natural downregulation of reproductive hormones in older age, is a common occurrence, and can offer a model for understanding the high prevalence of sleep problems in breast cancer survivors on endocrine therapy, as well as suggesting possible treatments such as behavioral interventions and pharmaceuticals. Altogether, significantly more research is needed to better understand and address sleep disturbance in breast cancer survivors on endocrine therapy in order to support quality of life and treatment adherence.
