Cancer stigma: the need for policy and programmatic action.
Article in Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Monographs, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Cancer is a stigmatized disease in many countries that impacts the quality of life and mental health of people affected by cancer. This commentary examines some dimensions of cancer stigma and has been developed based on insights from participants in a Union for International Cancer Control program dedicated to cancer patient organizations in low- and middle-income countries. Aimed at program managers and policy makers, this commentary highlights the importance of developing strategies to reduce cancer stigma in cancer control programs in different contexts, working closely with community-based civil society organizations and those with lived experience of cancer to understand, evaluate, and take action regarding the impact of cancer stigma on health-seeking behavior and patients' quality of life.
