Magnitude and Temporal Variations of Socioeconomic Inequalities in the Quality of Life After Early Breast Cancer: Results From the Multicentric French CANTO Cohort.
Article in Journal of clinical oncology : official journal of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01993498 (A Prospective Cohort to Investigate Survivorship Issues in Patients With Early Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 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.

Abstract
purposeSocioeconomic status (SES) influences the survival outcomes of patients with early breast cancer (EBC). However, limited research investigates social inequalities in their quality of life (QoL). This study examines the socioeconomic inequalities in QoL after an EBC diagnosis and their time trends. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe used data from the French prospective multicentric CANTO cohort (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01993498), including women with EBC enrolled between 2012 and 2018. QoL was assessed using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QoL Core 30 questionnaire (QLQ-C30). summary score at diagnosis and 1 and 2 years postdiagnosis. We considered three indicators of SES separately: self-reported financial difficulties, household income, and educational level. We first analyzed the trajectories of the QLQ-C30 summary score by SES group. Then, social inequalities in QLQ-C30 summary score and their time trends were quantified using the regression-based slope index of inequality (SII), representing the absolute change in the outcome along socioeconomic gradient extremes. The analyses were adjusted for age at diagnosis, Charlson Comorbidity Index, disease stage, and type of local and systemic treatment.
resultsAmong the 5,915 included patients with data on QoL at diagnosis and at the 2-year follow-up, social inequalities in QLQ-C30 summary score at baseline were statistically significant for all SES indicators (SII
conclusionThe magnitude of preexisting inequalities in QoL increased over time after EBC diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of considering social determinants of health during comprehensive cancer care planning.
