Risk of Stroke in Patients with Breast Cancer and Sleep Disorders.
Article in Journal of Cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Breast cancer and stroke were leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world. Stroke is the second leading cause of death. Previous studies showed that patients with breast cancer had a relatively higher risk of sleep disorders. Sleep disorders increased the risk of stroke. The aim of our study was to examine the risk of stroke after a breast cancer with sleep disorder among women in Taiwan. The Taiwan Cancer Registry was used to identify patients with breast cancer. Patients with new-onset breast cancer from January 2007 to December 2015 were selected for this study and followed until December 31, 2017. Patients who were diagnosed with sleep disorders were set as the case group, and the controls were those without sleep disorders. We enrolled 5256 patients with sleep disorders and 10,512 patients without sleep disorders. There were 121 (2.30%) patients with ischemic stroke among the breast cancer patients with sleep disorders. The mean time from the diagnosis of breast cancer to the occurrence of ischemic stroke was 6.29±2.59 years for breast cancer patients with sleep disorders and 6.00±2.76 years for those without sleep disorders (p < 0.0001). After matching by age and index year, breast patients with sleep disorders had a 1.31-fold higher risk (95% confidence interval: 1.03-1.66; p-value=0.026) of ischemic stroke than those without sleep disorders, after adjustment for comorbidities, cancer clinical stage, and treatment types. In conclusion, Breast cancer patients with sleep disorders have an increased risk of stroke.
