Addressing Sexual Health in Breast Cancer Survivors: Evidence-Based Practices and Clinical Considerations.
Review in Current treatment options in oncology, 2025. 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
opinion statementSexual health concerns are extremely prevalent among breast cancer survivors. The treatments used to treat and cure breast cancer - surgical removal of part or the whole breast, chemotherapy, radiation, and endocrine therapy - can have devastating impact on sexual function. Unfortunately, most patients are not given adequate preparation for these impending effects and can be blindsided by the resulting loss of sexual desire, vaginal dryness and decreased lubrication, pain with sex, vaginal stenosis, loss of nipple and breast sensation, muted or loss of orgasms and the resulting impact on sexuality and intimate relationships. Education about female sexual health is still lacking in most training programs and few cancer centers offer sexual health programs for cancer survivors. Oncology professionals and others who provide care for patients with breast cancer have the opportunity address sexual health, a vital aspect of quality of life. A focus on training and education, development of sexual health programs, and focus on sexual health in research is vital.
