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

Return to work after completion of cancer treatments has many benefits for patients, families, and society. Readiness for return to work (RRTW) seems to be an effective factor for return to work in cancer survivors. Therefore, the present study was to investigate return to work and its relation to RRTW among Iranian survivors of cancer. This descriptive-correlational study examined a total of 227 survived cancer patients with completed primary treatments and without active cancer symptoms. Data were collected by the return to work and RRTW questionnaires and analyzed with descriptive statistics and inferential statistics using SPSS software. Upon completion of initial treatment, 166 (73.2%) of survivor participants returned to work, of which 78 (34.4%) and 88 (38.4%) participants returned to full-time and part-time works, respectively. ANOVA test showed a significant difference between RRTW and the type of return to work. In addition, results of regression analysis revealed that there was a positive significant relationship between RRTW and the rate of return to work before and after the adjustment of variables (p ≤ 0.05). Considering the findings of the study, there is a necessary need planning for rehabilitation programs by nursing managers concerning these patients to facilitate their return to work.
