The Effect of Race and Area Deprivation on Symptom Profiles over the Course of Early-Stage Breast Cancer.
Article in Research square, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: This study compared common symptoms (fatigue, pain), overall physical functioning and changes over time between Black and White women receiving early-stage breast cancer (ESBC) chemotherapy. Methods: A longitudinal, repeated measures comparative design was employed. Time points of symptom measurement (PROMIS domains) at baseline, mid and end point were adjusted as per patient chemotherapy schedule. Analyses: Linear mixed models were applied. Results: There were 147 patients, 36% Black 64% White (54±12 years) recommended to receive early-stage breast cancer chemotherapy with adequate data for symptom analysis. Pain: Main effect of race was significant ( Fatigue: Fatigue significantly increased (deteriorated) at endpoint (MD Conclusion: Symptom burden significantly increased over the course of chemotherapy for all patients. Scores for pain and physical function were higher overall for Black patients and deteriorated at a greater rate for Black vs. White women over the course of chemotherapy. This assessment holds implication for proactive assessment and mitigation strategies.
