Breast cancer recurrence: socioeconomic position and general practice involvement - a nationwide cohort study in Denmark.
Article in Scandinavian journal of primary health care, 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
backgroundGeneral practitioners (GPs) play an increasingly central role in the detection and management of breast cancer recurrence (BCR). Socioeconomic position (SEP) has been associated with both risk of BCR and mortality and may influence cancer awareness and beliefs, healthcare-seeking behaviour, referral patterns, and access to and use of healthcare. Nevertheless, knowledge on how SEP is related to BCR detection in general practice remains limited.
aimTo characterise patients with BCR and examine how SEP is associated with involvement of general practice in the pathway to recurrence diagnosis (index consultation), symptom presentation in general practice, and the GP's decision to initiate a diagnostic pathway.
methodsIn this nationwide retrospective cohort study, national register data on women diagnosed with BCR between 1 January 2022 and 31 May 2024 were combined with GP survey data from 324 Danish GPs. SEP was measured as educational level and cohabitation status. Associations with study outcomes were analysed by estimating prevalence ratios using Poisson regression models.
resultsAmong 392 women with BCR, 52.8% had an index consultation in general practice, 37.2% presented with symptoms in general practice, and 43.6% had the diagnostic pathway initiated by the GP. Across all analyses, no statistically significant associations were found between SEP and the investigated outcomes.
conclusionThe findings suggest no substantial socioeconomic disparities in the likelihood of having an index consultation in general practice, presenting with symptoms in general practice, or having the diagnostic pathway initiated by the GP when presenting with symptoms.
