The Breast International Group (BIG) Patient Partnership: Embedding meaningful patient involvement in the design and conduct of breast cancer clinical research.
Article in Breast (Edinburgh, Scotland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Involving those with a lived experience of the relevant condition in the design of clinical research ensures that studies address real-world needs and priorities, enabling more relevant, ethical, and impactful outcomes. In 2019, the Breast International Group (BIG) established the BIG Patient Partnership to facilitate the meaningful involvement of people affected by breast cancer in the design and conduct of its studies. The members provide a strong international patient voice in academic breast cancer research. The partnership is based on 4 pillars: foundational and ongoing training, meaningful and systematic involvement, patients as a strategic driving force in BIG's research, and promoting the value of the patients' voice in research. In this paper, we describe a model to enable performing transnational clinical research for and with patient partners. We hope to inspire organizations and people who are burdened by cancer from different cultural backgrounds to develop an interactive, engaging, and empowering process for researchers and patient partners to work together.
