1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Advanced breast cancer (ABC) represents a significant global health challenge, not only due to its high mortality rates but also because of the profound physical, emotional, and social burden it imposes on patients. Support services - encompassing psychological, social and peer support, complementary and integrative therapies, wellness and lifestyle support, genetic counseling, survivorship programs, palliative and end-of-life care - are essential to addressing these challenges and ensuring that individuals with ABC receive holistic, person-centered care throughout their disease journey. This manuscript outlines the need for universal access to comprehensive, tailored support services to transform the landscape of ABC care, improve quality of life, and promote health equity globally. It summarizes research conducted for the ABC Global Alliance's Global Decade Report 2.0. The main findings are: a) More than half of people with ABC report never being offered support services; b) Global disparities in ABC support services persist despite policy recommendations from national cancer care plans; c) Global survey data show major gaps in ABC support service referral and utilization; d) Palliative care remains underutilized and often introduced too late in ABC care; e) Despite growth of ABC advocacy groups, healthcare provider referrals are limited. The findings from the ABC Global Alliance's Global Decade Report 2.0 have informed the development of a new ABC Global Charter. The ABC Global Charter 2.0 defines ten new achievable and measurable goals for the decade 2025-2035, aiming at improving the lives of people living with ABC worldwide.
