Understanding the association between body mass index and chemotherapy dose reductions in women treated for stage I-IIIA breast cancer.

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
Historically, breast cancer patients with obesity have been more likely than normal-weight patients to receive dose-reduced chemotherapy, although contemporary dosing practices of patients with obesity remain unclear. Among 9708 women treated with adjuvant chemotherapy for stage I-IIIA breast cancer at two integrated healthcare delivery systems (2005-2019), we used generalized linear models to estimate adjusted prevalence ratios between body mass index (BMI) and comorbidity and chemotherapy dosing (first cycle dose reduction (FCDR), dose proportion < 90%) and average relative dose intensity (ARDI) < 90%). A strong, independent association was observed between BMI and FCDR (PR
