Employment Concerns and Associated Impairments of Women Living With Advanced Breast Cancer.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveTo describe the clinical and personal factors associated with work status, distress regarding work status, and the desire to resume employment and receive help to address work challenges reported by women living with advanced breast cancer.
designDescriptive statistics and univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to explore factors related to employment challenges in this secondary analysis of an existing dataset.
settingParticipants were recruited from an outpatient oncology clinic specializing in breast cancer at a free-standing comprehensive cancer center.
participantsEnglish-speaking women older than 18 years living with metastatic breast cancer with intact mental status and Karnofsky Performance Scale scores between 40 and 90 (N=163).
interventionNot applicable.
main outcome measuresDependent variables included (1) continued employment if working at the time of cancer diagnosis; (2) interest in resuming employment if working at the time of cancer diagnosis and now no longer working; (3) distress regarding vocational limitations; and (4) interest in receiving help to resume work.
resultsSeventy percent of the sample was working before their cancer diagnosis (n
conclusionsWith more people living longer with metastatic cancer, there is a need to assess and support survivors' desire and capacity to maintain employment. Participants' reduced employment was strongly associated with potentially actionable clinical targets (ie, higher symptom burden and lower functional status) that fall within cancer rehabilitation's mission.
