Lower-Cost Nonsurgical Primary Prevention Strategies for Women at High Risk of Breast Cancer: A Scoping Review.
Review in The breast journal, 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
backgroundA systematic mapping of nonsurgical, lower-cost primary prevention strategies for women at high risk of breast cancer remains limited.
objectiveTo identify and summarize lower-cost (i.e., lower economic cost relative to surgical and pharmaceutical alternatives; not dependent on expensive equipment, patented drugs, or complex medical procedures; implementable through community, family, or self-management models), nonsurgical primary prevention strategies for women at high risk of breast cancer, providing empirical evidence to inform clinical practice, health education, and public health policy.
methodsFollowing the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for scoping reviews and the Participants, Concept, and Context (PCC) framework, we systematically searched 9 Chinese and English databases. Search terms covered "breast cancer," "high-risk women," "primary prevention," and various nonsurgical strategies. Two independent reviewers performed literature screening and data extraction.
resultsSeventeen studies were included, and six prevention strategy categories were identified: nutritional dietary interventions, physical activity interventions, comprehensive lifestyle interventions, chemoprevention, digital health interventions, and health education with self-management. Comprehensive lifestyle intervention emerged as the core strategy with robust evidence and manageable costs. Nutritional interventions have shifted from single nutrients to overall dietary patterns. Chemoprevention, limited by cost and side effects, is more suitable for very high-risk women. Digital health interventions and health education offer advantages in medically underserved areas.
conclusionThis scoping review systematically maps lower-cost, nonsurgical primary prevention strategies for women at high risk of breast cancer, identifying six categories of promotable interventions. Comprehensive lifestyle intervention represents the most evidence-supported and economically manageable core strategy. For the first time from the dual perspectives of "nonsurgical" and "lower cost," this review provides practical references for primary healthcare systems, clinical education, and public health policy, with particular relevance for resource-limited settings.
