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

This study aimed to obtain a comprehensive collection of ideas and opinions from the perspective of various professionals and support providers for cancer treatment and employment balance. We performed a focus group interview, and a model diagram was created using categories created via classification of important items. The focus group interview revealed six strategies aligned with seven issues concerning the support needed to balance cancer treatment and employment. These strategies suggested the importance of not only the way of directly connecting among several specialists but also the presence and the role of the coordinators with their own specialties. Workers with cancer need supportive advices after their initial diagnosis, when returning to work, and after returning to work. After returning to work, a number of problems resulted from the lack of advice at the time of diagnosis or when returning to work. These results emphasized the necessity for the development of early comprehensive system for integrated collaboration between medical institutions, workplaces and other occupational health institutions. The results suggest that a multi-profession collaboration model is necessary to support cancer patients staying at work, which includes the cooperation between medical institutions and their counterparts from occupational health and the patients' employers.
