Factors associated with and patterns of alcohol intake during the first year of breast cancer survivorship.
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 3 papers.
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
purposeTo evaluate alcohol intake patterns, and identify factors associated with alcohol use in early survivorship among breast cancer survivors, as well as associations with changes in alcohol consumption in early survivorship.
methodsPatients diagnosed with breast cancer (stages 0-3) between 2014 and 2022 were surveyed regarding their average alcohol intake near the time of diagnosis and at approximately one year post-diagnosis. Alcohol intake was categorized into four levels and associations with demographic, clinical, and behavioral factors were assessed using bivariable and multivariable models. Changes in alcohol intake over time were examined using McNemar's and Bowker's tests and multinomial logistic regression.
resultsIn this cohort of 2080 participants, the proportion of participants consuming at least one drink per week decreased from 71.2% at diagnosis to 39.8% at one year post-diagnosis, while the proportion reporting less than one drink per week increased from 28.9 to 60.2%. Reduction in alcohol intake at one year post-diagnosis was more likely among those experiencing financial difficulty, receiving chemotherapy, reporting lower physical health, and current or never smokers compared to former smokers. Better physical health, engagement in moderate-intensity exercise, and current smoking were associated with higher cross-sectional alcohol intake at one year post-diagnosis.
conclusionsAlcohol consumption declined significantly in early survivorship. Financial, behavioral, and treatment-related factors played key roles in shaping these patterns. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Our findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions to support personalized counseling on alcohol intake, particularly for individuals with better physical health, greater financial stability, or co-occurring risky behaviors like smoking.
