Patient-Reported Factors Impacting Memory and Cognition Among Women Currently or Previously Receiving Treatment for Breast Cancer.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Objectives Cognitive impairments associated with cancer and cancer treatments have yet to determine definitive causes, gold-standard assessments, or effective treatments to offset or mitigate symptoms. The purpose of the current study was to determine relationships between women with breast cancer and the negative memory impact of treatment and other factors. Materials and methods This online study included 171 participants receiving at least one type of treatment for breast cancer. This descriptive correlational study used two measures to assess memory and one for stress. The survey included demographics, treatments received, and memory. Results Results indicated increased perceived impairments among variables of age, stress, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and hormonal treatment modalities. Discussion This study established relationships between memory/cognitive impairments and the variables of age, four treatment modalities, three agents, and stress. Conclusion The results from this study demonstrate the importance of developing standardized assessments to identify the presence and severity of cancer and treatment-related cognitive impairments. The study will be used as a first step to developing a memory support strategy using a web-based nursing intervention considering the impact of stress.
