Impact of Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment on Work-Related Life and Financial Factors.
Article in Breast care (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundSurvival rates of breast cancer patients are high, and the majority of women is <65 years old when first treated for breast cancer. The aim of our study is to assess work-related life factors and analyze the financial opportunities of breast cancer survivors and how this is reflected in the general quality of their lives.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional, hospital-based monocentric questionnaire study of women diagnosed with breast cancer. Recruitment was carried out from January to March 2011 for women diagnosed with and treated for primary breast cancer between 2005 and 2010 at Charité University Hospital Berlin.
resultsThe study included 492 breast cancer patients without recurrence. In total, 81.3% of the women returned to work, and 30.2% of the women felt a reduction of financial opportunities. Financial problems were named by at least 20% of the patients as being the main cause for a reduced quality of life.
conclusionLong-term, disease-free breast cancer survivors reported a significant change in their work-related factors as well as changes in their financial opportunities.
