Relationship of perceived everyday cognitive function and work engagement in breast cancer survivors.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 survivors (BCS) who represent approximately 3.5 million survivors in the USA frequently report ongoing cognitive dysfunction that may impact work outcomes. However, little is known about how perceived everyday cognitive function may affect work engagement (a measure of work efficacy and work well-being) in BCS who have completed treatment.
objectivesThe purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between perceived everyday cognitive function and work engagement in BCS.
methodsA convenience sample of 68 employed BCS seen at a Midwest NCI-Cancer Center who were at least 1-year post-treatment, completed a cross-sectional questionnaire assessing demographic and medical characteristics, and perceived everyday cognitive function (Everyday Cognition Scale) and work engagement (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale). Descriptive statistics, Pearson's r, and separate regression models controlling for age and education were used to analyze the data.
resultsBCS who were on average 52 (SD = 8.6) years old, 5 (SD = 3.8) years post-treatment, and primarily employed full-time (79%) participated. A subset of BCS (12%) identified poorer everyday cognitive function after BC diagnosis and treatment. Everyday cognition, including subscales vigor and dedication, were correlated with work engagement (p˂0.01), controlling for age and education.
conclusionsFindings indicate the important role of perceived everyday cognitive function in work engagement well into survivorship. Reducing cognitive dysfunction may be an important area for future intervention research to support BCS who return to work. IMPLICATIONS TO PRACTICE: Healthcare providers need to assess and address perceived cognitive dysfunction to promote work-related outcomes in BCS well into survivorship.
