Exploring the Emotional Effects of Reproductive Decision-Making in Women With a BRCA Pathogenic Variant.
Article in Oncology nursing forum, 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
objectivesTo evaluate how reproductive decision-making in women with a known BRCA pathogenic variant is influenced by emotional states and individual factors. SAMPLE &
setting85 women with a BRCA pathogenic variant from a familial cancer registry at a local university hospital system in Pennsylvania. METHODS & VARIABLES: This exploratory, descriptive study used the validated Appraisal of Life Events Scale to measure emotional states. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the relationships among emotional states, BRCA pathogenic variant status, and individual factors in reproductive decision-making.
resultsAge at genetic testing and number of children significantly predicted decisions about having more children. Among women with family history of ovarian cancer, perceived loss/benefit was significantly associated with reproductive decision-making. Loss/benefit was significantly related to reproductive decision-making among women with family history of ovarian cancer. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Recognizing the emotional impact of reproductive decision-making in women at risk for hereditary cancer could aid in improving their overall health and psychosocial outcomes.
