Misconceptions and beliefs around hormone replacement therapy after childhood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: A qualitative study among women leukemia survivors.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeAfter childhood leukemia and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, hormone replacement therapy is often required to induce puberty because of premature ovarian insufficiency. Observance of this kind of treatment in adolescents and young women seems quite poor, and literature about its acceptance remains scarce; in order to learn about their experience and to better understand their attitude towards hormone replacement therapy, we used qualitative methods. DESIGN AND PATIENTS: 13 young women childhood cancer survivors completed an individual interview.
resultsWe report that the negative experience of leukemia may cause rejection of the treatment, closely related to infertility unacceptance. Misconceptions and lack of adequate information of hormonal treatment effects are also major barriers to a good compliance. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Observance of hormone replacement therapy for young women childhood cancer survivors can be improved with a confidential patient-physician relationship, patient education, choice of galenic formulation according to personal preference, and psychological support during the long-time follow up.
