Health-related Problems and Lived Experiences of Breast Cancer Survivors: A Mixed-Methods Study.
Article in Indian journal of palliative care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives: This study aimed to explore breast cancer (BC) survivors' health-related problems and lived experiences. Materials and Methods: The current study employed a convergent mixed-methods design. It enrolled 115 patients and collected data using validated questionnaires to assess their health problems. Qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews. Results: The mean age of survivors was 49.35 ± 8.66 years. Problems reported in the descending order were fatigue, sexual dysfunction (decreased libido, painful sexual intercourse and vaginal dryness) and lymphoedema with shoulder stiffness, respectively. Qualitative analysis revealed themes related to post-diagnosis reactions, spirituality, misconceptions, disturbed body image, economic impact and need for help in household chores. Conclusion: A substantial number of BC survivors had multiple health problems. Our study emphasises the importance of holistic survivorship care, involving nurses in post-treatment support and addressing societal discrimination and psychosocial concerns to enhance their quality of life.
