The Impact of Dietary Fat on Breast Cancer Incidence and Survival: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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 has become one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide, and researchers have struggled to explore new avenues for managing it for decades. One of the ways was to analyze the diet and its importance concerning this disease. This review aims to study the effect dietary fat has on the risk of breast cancer incidence as well as its influence on the survival of breast cancer patients. The main population under consideration for this review is women older than the age of 18. A thorough and detailed search was conducted until July 21, 2022, using four databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and The Cochrane Library. After screening, 22 articles were selected for inclusion in this review. Of the 22 articles, 12 were from PubMed, two from ScienceDirect, one from The Cochrane Library, and seven from Google Scholar. The risk of bias was assessed, and the required information was extracted from the articles. A systematic review of all the included articles found a significant correlation between dietary fat and an increased risk of breast cancer development and worsening the prognosis for patients already diagnosed with breast cancer. Although many overlapping factors may be responsible for this development, studies show a trend that suggests that this particular factor can be a contributor. Further studies need to be conducted to highlight the role of fat in the diet and the use of dietary modification to curb breast cancer rates.
