Managing sexual health challenges in breast cancer survivors: A comprehensive review.
Review in Breast (Edinburgh, Scotland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
The significant advancements in breast cancer management have led to an increase in the prevalence of breast cancer survivors. Despite their efficacy, these treatments can cause a variable range of side effects, significantly deteriorating the patients' quality of life. Sexual dysfunction, and in particular the genitourinary syndrome of menopause, represent one of the major causes of quality-of-life impairment among breast cancer patients, potentially affecting treatment adherence and compliance. If in the general population, hypoestrogenism-related symptoms are typically managed through systemic or topical estrogen administration, this approach is contraindicated in breast cancer patients for the potential increased risk of disease recurrence, urging the investigation of alternative measures. The aim of this review is to summarize the most up-to-date pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, as well as supportive measures, available for the management of sexual dysfunctions in breast cancer patients and survivors.
