Analysis of Spinal Dysfunction in Breast Cancer Survivors with Lymphedema.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05776433 (The Effects of Extremity With Lymphedema on Posture, Upper Extremity Functions, and Quality of Life in Patients With Lymphedema After Unilateral Breast Cancer), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundTo study and analyse the spinal dysfunction in breast cancer survivors with lymphedema.
methodsThis study was carried out by analysing total 116 breast cancer survivor women, who were having lymphedema. Out of 116 subjects, 39 undergone radical mastectomy (RM), 39 undergone modified radical mastectomy (MRM) and 38 undergone breast conserving surgery (BCS). Thesesubjects were assessed for spinal function bytaking range of motionusing goniometer, lymphedema measurement usinginch tape, spinal stability test and functional rating index.
resultsThe spinal range of motion wassignificantly reduced in patients suffering from lymphedema in breast cancer survivors. The strength and endurance were significantly reduced in abdominals, extensors and lateral muscles of spine. There wasmarked effect seen on quality of life of patients assessed by using functional rating index due to spinal dysfunction in lymphedema patients.
conclusionThis study showed that there is statistically significant spinal dysfunction caused due to lymphedema in breast cancer survivors.
