Hormone replacement therapy in female-specific cancer survivors: considerations beyond cancer cure.
Review in Japanese journal of clinical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
With rapid advances in disease diagnosis and treatment, patients with cancer will achieve longer survival. Among female cancer survivors, oncologic treatments often lead to premature ovarian insufficiency, negatively impacting their health and quality of life. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may mitigate these effects; however, concerns remain regarding its impact on oncologic outcomes. Updating the evidence base could help healthcare providers identify patients who may benefit from HRT without an increased risk of recurrence. This review provides an updated overview of HRT in women with a history of cervical, endometrial, ovarian, and breast cancers. For cervical cancer, HRT is not contraindicated in either squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma, regardless of stage. For endometrial cancer, HRT is not contraindicated in early-stage disease with no residual tumor, although it should be avoided in low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma. HRT is not contraindicated in epithelial ovarian cancer regardless of stage, except in low-grade serous carcinoma. Currently, HRT is contraindicated for breast cancer. This review highlights the need to promote long-term healthcare strategies for cancer survivors. A shift in focus beyond cancer cure toward lifelong health management is warranted.
