Treatment, toxicity, and mortality after subsequent breast cancer in female survivors of childhood cancer.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Childhood cancer survivors, particularly those who received chest radiotherapy, are at high risk for developing subsequent breast cancer. Minimizing long-term toxicity risks associated with additional radiotherapy and chemotherapy is a priority, but therapeutic tradeoffs have not been comprehensively characterized and their impact on survival is unknown. In this study, 431 female childhood cancer survivors with subsequent breast cancer from a multicenter retrospective cohort study were evaluated. Compared with one-to-one matched females with first primary breast cancer, survivors are as likely to be prescribed guideline-concordant treatment (N = 344 pairs; survivors: 94%, controls: 93%), but more frequently undergo mastectomy (survivors: 81%, controls: 60%) and are less likely to be treated with anthracyclines (survivors: 47%, controls: 66%) or radiotherapy (survivors: 18%, controls: 61%). Despite this, survivors have nearly 3.5-fold (95% CI = 2.17-5.57) greater mortality risk. Here, we show survivors with subsequent breast cancer face excess mortality despite therapeutic tradeoffs and require specialized treatment guidelines.
