The Role of Civil Society in the Implementation of the Global Breast Cancer Initiative (GBCI) Framework: Takeaways from Southeast Asia.

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
backgroundIn 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched the Global Breast Cancer Initiative (GBCI) with the aim of strategically guiding and coordinating efforts to reduce breast cancer mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). At the country level, GBCI requires adaptation to local contexts based on a systematic assessment of barriers faced by breast cancer patients and the health system's capacity. This requires engaging stakeholders with civil society organizations being key.
methodDuring the 7th Southeast Asia Breast Cancer Symposium (SEABCS) held in Hue, Vietnam, breast cancer clinicians, policy makers, patients, advocates, and caregivers were invited to participate in a workshop to discuss the role civil society organizations will play in the implementation of GBCI. The workshop objective was to identify the needs of CSOs to effectively support the domestic implementation of GBCI principles and strategies.
resultTwenty-two people registered for the workshop, with eight civil society organizations represented by one or more members. Participants were assigned to three groups and were asked to describe; (a) the ways in which civil society could use the GBCI framework document, advocate for its implementation at the country level, and support the implementation of recommended interventions; and (b) what would be needed for civil society to use, advocate for, or implement GBCI.
conclusionThis report outlines the main discussion points, the roles that civil society can play in countries' implementation efforts, and the resources needed so they can efficiently support their governments in their implementation strategy. By including civil society as a key element of breast cancer control, countries in the region and beyond can accelerate the domestic implementation of the GBCI principles and strategies, making significant progress in breast cancer control and improving the lives of those affected by the disease.
