Psychological distress in breast cancer patients during oncological inpatient rehabilitation: incidence, triggering factors and correlation with treatment-induced side effects.

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
As a result of the cancer diagnosis and the mostly multimodal, stressful therapy, psychological distress is a common symptom in breast cancer patients. As part of this prospective study, 1400 patients who were admitted to the hospital for oncological rehabilitation were screened for distress and somatic, therapy-induced secondary disorders. Mean distress in the screened population was 5.6 ± 2.56 (range 0-10). In 942 cases (67.3%) a significant distress score (≥ 5) was detected and in 587 cases (41.9%) very high levels of distress (≥ 7) was observed. Psychological distress significantly correlated with younger age, presence of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), tumor recurrence and metastasis, and inability to work. Treatment-induced side effects such as lymphedema, CIPN or extensive tumor resection (mastectomy) showed a (not significant) trend for higher distress. The high incidence of distress underscores the importance of psycho-oncological therapy offers and the great importance of occupational measures during oncological rehabilitation such as the importance of a successful return to work for a better quality of life in breast cancer patients.
