Article in Breast cancer research and treatment, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04855552 (Pilot Telehealth Weight Loss Program for Breast Cancer Survivors), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

purposeTo assess knowledge of obesity-associated cancer risk, self-awareness of BMI status, and willingness to engage in weight loss intervention in breast cancer survivors with overweight and obesity as a companion study for a novel weight loss program using a telehealth platform (NCT04855552).

methodsBreast cancer survivors with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m

resultsOf the 122 participants, 73 (59.8%) had BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m

conclusionOur results underscore the importance of raising patients' awareness of obesity-related health risks and individual BMI category. Future work in the development of better education and communication tools to improve awareness will likely improve the adoption rate of healthy lifestyles in at-risk patients.
