Communication between mothers with breast cancer and minor children: a qualitative systematic review and meta-synthesis.
Synthesis in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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.

6 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 7 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
purposeBoth women with breast cancer and their minor children were affected by a breast cancer diagnosis. The purpose of this review was to synthesize the evidence from qualitative studies on illness-related communication between mothers with breast cancer and their minor children from mothers' perspectives.
methodsA thorough systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative studies was conducted. English articles published prior to 6 November 2021 were searched from five databases, including PubMed/ MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, and PsycINFO. After screening the titles, abstracts, and full texts, seven articles were finally included in the quality appraisal and meta-aggregation.
resultsFour synthesized findings were derived from seven articles, including disclosure dilemma, factors impacting disclosure, methods of communication, and information needs.
conclusionsThis systematic review offered insight into the communication between mothers with breast cancer and their minor children. Various factors influenced the decision-making process on illness-related disclosure, as well as the methods and contents of the communication. Future studies should be undertaken to explore the common model shared by mothers and children who have had comparable experiences, as well as to completely analyze the differences between different cultures in this topic.
