1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionBreast cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related death among women worldwide. An increasing number of studies highlight the contribution of environmental and lifestyle factors, including cosmetic use, in its development.

objectiveTo assess the association between cosmetic and dietary habits and breast cancer risk among women in Benin.

methodsA case-control study was conducted involving 100 women diagnosed with breast cancer and matched 200 controls in the departments of visceral surgery, internal medicine, dermatology-venereology, and rheumatology at CNHU-HKM, and the gynecology-obstetrics department of CHU-MEL. Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire addressing family history, dietary patterns, and cosmetic product usage.

resultsIn multivariate analysis, several cosmetic practices including the use of alkaline soaps (OR

conclusionOur results show a possible association between environmental factors-particularly the use of cosmetic products-and breast cancer. These results underscore a compelling need for a national cosmetovigilance system in Benin and public health initiatives promoting healthier lifestyles, especially among genetically predisposed women.
