Symptom trajectories in patients with breast cancer: An integrative review.
Review in International journal of nursing sciences, 2022. 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
objectiveThis study aimed to synthesize the available knowledge of symptom trajectories in patients with breast cancer and identify predictors associated with these trajectories.
methodsWhittemore and Knafl's integrative review method was employed to guide a systematic search for literature in four databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and CINAHL). The retrieved articles' publication time was limited to 2010 to 2020, and only peer-reviewed English articles were included.
resultsTwenty-seven articles were included. The findings of the relevant studies were analyzed using thematic analysis. They were grouped into two themes: symptom trajectories of patients with breast cancer (symptom trajectories in patients with breast cancer, in patients who underwent surgery, and in patients who received cancer-related treatment) and associated factors (socioeconomic factors, health characteristics, cancer-related treatment characteristics)
conclusionThe findings of this review add to the body of knowledge of the interindividual variability of symptom trajectories in patients with breast cancer. Despite the overall similarity in appraisal at baseline, the patients reported varied symptom trajectories over time. It is recommended that nurses consider sociodemographic, clinical and cancer-related treatment characteristics and perform targeted early preventive interventions for patients with breast cancer.
