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
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy among Brazilian women, with a high percentage of the cases diagnosed at advanced or metastatic stages (mBC). In Brazil, where 75% of the population depends on the resource-limited public health system (SUS), mBC poses significant treatment challenges and disparities. To characterize this scenario, we conducted an online survey assessing treatment strategies available for HER2-negative, hormone receptor (HR)-positive mBC across public and private health systems. The 48-question survey addressed topics such as waiting time (WT) from oncology unit entry to treatment initiation, availability of oncologic medications, and access to palliative and multidisciplinary care teams. Between 2 August 2022 and 30 September 2022, a total of 180 oncologists were invited, and 150 met the inclusion criteria. The median WT for surgery was 60 days in the SUS versus 30 days in the private sector (
