Factors associated with and patterns of alcohol intake in late survivorship for breast cancer survivors.
Article in Breast cancer research and treatment, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 trends and identify demographic, clinical, lifestyle, and socioeconomic factors associated with alcohol consumption in late survivorship among breast cancer survivors.
methodsIndividuals diagnosed with stage 0-3 breast cancer enrolled in the Mayo Clinic Breast Disease registry between 2014 and 2022 reported their average weekly alcohol intake at baseline (time of diagnosis) and at approximately 4 years post-diagnosis. Alcohol intake was divided into four categories, and cross-sectional associations with demographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors were examined using Monte Carlo-based Fisher exact tests and multivariable multinomial logistic regression. Changes in alcohol consumption from baseline to Year 4 were evaluated using Bowker's test of symmetry and multinomial models.
resultsAmong 719 participants, alcohol intake 4 years post-diagnosis closely resembled baseline patterns, with 30.2% of patients reporting no alcohol use and 48.8% of patients consuming 1-4 drinks per week. Younger age and current smoking status were strongly associated with higher intake at Year 4. Exercise and better physical health were associated with higher alcohol intake in univariable models; however, they were not in adjusted models. From time of diagnosis to Year 4, 15.6% of patients decreased their alcohol intake, 10.2% increased their alcohol intake, and 74.3% reported no change. Higher levels of mild-intensity exercise were associated with an elevation in alcohol intake over time.
conclusionAlcohol consumption in late survivorship was similar to that at the time of diagnosis, after an initial decline in this cohort during early survivorship. Younger age and smoking were associated with greater Year 4 alcohol intake.
