Prevalence of Depression in Patients and Survivors of Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Depression is an illness prevalent worldwide and much more common in certain groups of people. Individuals suffering from breast cancer as well as the survivors of breast cancer are at an increased risk of developing depression. We conducted this systematic review using articles from different countries of the world to get an estimate of the prevalence of depression in this specified population. For this, we collected about 262 articles from Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, and after strict scrutiny, 13 articles were used to extract our data. From our collected data, we were able to get an estimate of depression prevalence rates among breast cancer patients and survivors globally and identify different factors that affected these rates. More cohort studies must be done so that more precise information about the causes, preventions, and therapies of depression specifically in breast cancer patients and survivors may be gathered.
