Routine Cancer Treatment Regimens and Its Impact on Fine Motor Dexterity in Breast Cancer.
Observational study in Oncology research and treatment, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionBreast cancer can be a major challenge for those affected. Knowledge of changes in fine motor dexterity in affected women due to routine cancer therapies can help guide effective support.
methodsFor this prospective observational study, we collected data of 79 women with a mean age 54.6 ± 9.5 years prior to, after breast cancer therapy (T1), and at 3-month follow-up. The fine motor dexterity was assessed for 4 treatment subgroups: SC = Surgery + Chemotherapy, SCR = Surgery + Chemotherapy + Radiotherapy Therapy, SR = Surgery + Radiotherapy, and S = Surgery.
resultsOver time, women with breast cancer showed significant decreases in fine motor dexterity across all treatment groups (p < 0.001). The strongest negative effect was seen in the treatment groups receiving additional chemotherapy. SCR group showed pronounced limitations for dominant hand (DH) -12%; non-dominant hand (NDH) -15%; both hands (BH) -17%; assembly (ASSY) -11% at T1. Significant interaction was noticeable in DH (F = 5.59, p < 0.001), NDH (F = 6.61, p < 0.001), BH (F = 13.11 p < 0.001), and ASSY (F = 5.84 p < 0.001). DISCUSSION/
conclusionOur study showed that the extent of change in fine motor dexterity depends on the treatment regimen. The detection of unmet care needs could help to personalize and optimize clinical and survivorship care. Based on our findings, multidisciplinary support initiated early in breast cancer therapy is required.
