ANTHROPOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE BODY MASS INDEX IN BREAST CANCER.
Article in Acta endocrinologica (Bucharest, Romania : 2005). 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
Increased body mass index (BMI) is considered a risk factor for breast cancer. Moreover, it is associated with an unfavorable prognosis of the disease. Overweight and obesity are a global public health problem. Objective: We aimed to describe the risk factor of high BMI in breast cancer patients through an observational study of patients diagnosed with mammary neoplasm. Patients and Methods: The study was performed on a sample of 172 women with breast cancer with a mean age of 58.8 (±SD) years and a control sample of 217 women without breast cancer with a mean age of 54 (±SD) years. Data collection was performed by questionnaires and by anthropometric measurements, during 2017-2021. Statistical analysis used numerical descriptive methods: mean, standard deviation, etc. and graphical methods. Results: The sample of women with breast cancer compared to the control sample showed differences in BMI (26.27 Conclusion: Obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer. This risk factor for breast cancer could be altered by the quality of the diet and by the adoption of an active lifestyle.
