1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeAlthough Latino cancer inequities persist and result in poorer quality of life, limited research examines the psychological and relationship functioning impacts following a breast cancer diagnosis among Latino couples. Therefore, this study aimed to explore how breast cancer shapes Latino couples' relationships throughout the cancer care continuum.

methodsFocus groups and semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2022 with a purposive sample of Latina breast cancer survivors and their intimate partners. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and coded using the Community-Engaged Rapid Analysis and Visualization Adaption methodological framework.

resultsMost of the Latina breast cancer survivors were within 5 years of survivorship (58%) and over half of all participants reported being in a relationship for over 21 years. Results revealed that following a breast cancer diagnosis, Latina breast cancer survivors and intimate partners of a Latina breast cancer survivor have different primary fears, use different coping mechanisms, navigate unfamiliar challenges following the cancer-related treatment phases due to limited understanding and knowledge of cancer treatments, and can reinvent intimacy through supportive actions through the cancer care continuum.

conclusionThis study illustrates Latino couple's individual and dyadic navigation processes following a breast cancer diagnosis and the unique cultural and contextual challenges that arise throughout survivorship. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Within Latino dyads, each individual may navigate through the cancer care continuum differently and may be influenced by different cultural norms. Culturally tailored interventions can improve emotional and functional adjustments for Latino couples, bettering their quality of life.
