1 · What the graph read from 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.

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

objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the levels of fatigue, social support, spiritual well-being, and distress of female cancer survivors at the workplace, and identify factors associated with distress.

methodsOne hundred and eighty-two working female cancer survivors participated from the outpatient ward in two medical institutions in South Korea and they completed questionnaires assessing their general characteristics, fatigue, social support (colleagues and superiors), and spiritual well-being distress (existential and religious well-being). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, T-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation, and multiple linear regression with SPSS /WIN18 version.

resultsMost of the participants were breast and thyroid cancer (78.5%), married (46.2%), working periods below 10 years (62.7%) and the average age was 49.7 years. Distress positively correlated with fatigue and significant predictors of distress were "type of work" and "main source of household income" among general characteristics, fatigue, religious well-being, and existential well-being.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that integrated program including educational and practical factors to reduce fatigue and increase spiritual well-being (i.e., peace, faith, meaning, et al.) can decrease distress. Whereas, the "ambivalence" of God accompanied by high religious well-being (i.e., punishment, abandon, blame, and so on) can rather increase distress. The development of an integrated management system of distress at work can be applied as a practical factor to improve job satisfaction, organizational performance, and quality of life.
