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
purposeThis study aims to examine the representations of breast neoplasms among sexual minority women (SMW) with breast cancer and those without a history of the disease.
methodThis qualitative study included 10 lesbian women and one bisexual woman. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, transcribed, and analyzed using the reflexive thematic analysis approach.
resultsTwo main themes emerged from the analysis: (1) implications of cancer treatment, encompassing the subthemes: consequences of mastectomy, body hair loss, effects of adjunct therapy, and emotional responses to treatment; (2) contact with healthcare services, including discussions about sexual orientation and perceived discrimination.
conclusionThe experiences of women who had undergone cancer treatment were accurately reflected in the narratives of participants without a history of the disease. The types of treatments, the physical and emotional consequences of cancer, and the potential for discrimination or discomfort were recurring topics in the participants' accounts. This study hopes to contribute to a deeper understanding of the individual and collective meanings attributed to breast cancer among Brazilian women, particularly within the context of sexual minority communities.
