Factors Associated With the Discussion of Fertility Preservation in a Cohort of 1,357 Young Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Chemotherapy.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeFemale breast cancer (BC) patients exposed to gonadotoxic chemotherapy are at risk of future infertility. There is evidence of disparities in the discussion of fertility preservation for these patients. The aim of the study was to identify factors influencing the discussion of fertility preservation (FP). MATERIAL AND
methodsWe analyzed consecutive BC patients treated by chemotherapy at Institut Curie from 2011-2017 and aged 18-43 years at BC diagnosis. The discussion of FP was classified in a binary manner (discussion/no discussion), based on mentions present in the patient's electronic health record (EHR) before the initiation of chemotherapy. The associations between FP discussion and the characteristics of patients/tumors and healthcare practitioners were investigated by logistic regression analysis.
resultsThe median age of the 1357 patients included in the cohort was 38.7 years, and median tumor size was 30.3 mm. The distribution of BC subtypes was as follows: 702 luminal BCs (58%), 241 triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) (20%), 193 HER2
conclusionFP discussion rates are low and are influenced by patient and physician characteristics. There is therefore room for improvement in the promotion and systematization of FP discussion.
