Cohort profile: Guangzhou breast cancer study (GBCS).
Article in European journal of epidemiology, 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
The Guangzhou Breast Cancer Study (GBCS) is a patient-based prospective cohort study designed to identify risk factors and underlying mechanisms for breast cancer (BC) incidence and prognosis, specifically addressing the need for individualized prevention in South China, where BC incidence is notably high. Based in Guangzhou, China, the GBCS began recruitment in 2008, comprises three complementary studies: the Guangzhou breast cancer cohort with 5471 breast cancer patients, a case-control study with 1551 cases and 1605 controls, and an immunohistochemistry (IHC) cohort with 1063 breast cancer patients. Participants are primarily aged 41-60 years. Cohort follow-up is conducted every three months in the first year, every six months in the second and third years, and annually thereafter. High follow-up rates have been achieved until 2023, with 73.5% for the Guangzhou breast cancer cohort and 98.6% for the IHC cohort still active. Baseline data collection included demographic characteristics and breast cancer risk factors, while follow-up data included survival, treatment details, disease history, occupational history, post-diagnostic lifestyle, and laboratory measures, including genetic markers, proteins, and environmental exposures. The study encourages global collaborations and invites interested researchers to contact the corresponding author at xulin27@ mail.sysu.edu.cn with specific research ideas or proposals.
