What causes patients with breast cancer to change employment?: evidence from the health insurance data in a medical facility.

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
This study aims to make clear the following aspects of breast cancer patients and their occupation. 1. What percentage of patients have changed their working status around surgery? 2. When did patients change their employment? 3. What is the cause of the employment change? We investigated 269 patients who underwent curative surgery for primary breast cancer at one university hospital in Tokyo. Patients who were under the age of 58 at the time of surgery and had the experience of being a company or government employee during a year prior to the surgery were used as sample for analysis. To determine factors related to the employment change, multiple logistic regression analysis was performed. Nineteen percent patients changed the employment status before and after surgery. Of those, 19% changed the employment by the end of surgery month while 42% did by the fourth month after surgery. Treatment-related factors such as mastectomy and the combination of chemotherapy and hormone therapy affected changes in employment. We believe that the validity of our study can be confirmed by comparing with the previous study results. We show the potential large effects of cancer treatment on patients' daily lives.
