Nutrition literacy and dietary self-management in breast and gynecologic cancer survivorship.
Review in Frontiers in public health, 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
Women living with and beyond breast cancer or a gynecologic malignancy frequently face a combined burden of endocrine disruption, treatment-related symptoms, psychological distress, fatigue, fear of recurrence, and conflicting dietary information. These factors may impair nutrition literacy, weaken confidence in dietary self-management, and reduce adherence to evidence-informed nutrition recommendations. This Mini Review examines the behavioral pathway linking psychological and educational barriers to dietary behaviors in women with breast and gynecologic malignancies. We focus on four interconnected domains: hormone-related emotional vulnerability and treatment-related symptom burden; anxiety, depression, fatigue, and fear of recurrence as drivers of avoidant or inconsistent eating behaviors; nutrition misconceptions and restrictive dietary beliefs that may increase malnutrition risk; and structured nutrition education as a self-management strategy. Existing guidelines support nutrition screening, individualized counseling, healthy dietary patterns, weight management, and physical activity as survivorship priorities, but implementation is often limited by low health literacy, fragmented communication, and insufficient psychosocial support. We propose that survivorship nutrition programs should integrate psychological screening, myth correction, plain-language nutrition literacy education, symptom-responsive meal planning, family involvement, and digital follow-up. Such behaviorally informed education should be evaluated using measurable outcomes, including dietary adherence, nutritional status, body weight and body composition, symptom control, quality of life, and sustained self-management across survivorship.
