Prospective associations of adiposity with health-related quality of life during breast cancer survivorship among Black women.
Article in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundBlack breast cancer (BC) survivors face a disproportionately high burden of obesity, which may detrimentally impact health-related quality of life (QoL). This study examines the relationship between various adiposity measures-body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), percentage body fat (BF), and fat mass index (FMI)-and QoL in Black BC survivors participating in the Women's Circle of Health Follow-Up Study, a New Jersey-based population cohort.
methodsWe analyzed data from 785 women aged 20-75, diagnosed with BC between 2012 and 2019. Participants completed interviews approximately 10 months (visit 1) and 24 months (visit 2) post-diagnosis. Adiposity measures were recorded at visit 1, while QoL was evaluated at visit 2 using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) overall score and subscales (physical, emotional, functional, social well-being, and BC-specific subscale). Multivariable robust Poisson regression models were used to estimate risk ratios for the association between adiposity and QoL, dichotomized as low/high based on sample medians.
resultsHigh levels of general and central obesity were prevalent (58% and 75%, respectively). Women with BMI ≥ 40 kg/m
conclusionHigher adiposity is significantly associated with lower QoL among Black BC survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Maintaining a healthy weight may support long-term QoL in Black BC survivors.
