Predictors of the worry about cancer recurrence among women with breast cancer.
Article in BMC women's health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
introductionWorry about cancer recurrence is identified as the most common psychological burdens experienced by cancer patients and survivors. The present study aimed to determine the predictors of worry about cancer recurrence among women with breast cancer. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 166 women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, who referred to private and public oncology centers in Tabriz, Iran using the convenience sampling. Data collection tools were demographic and disease characteristics questionnaire, cancer worry scale, social support questionnaire, brief illness perception questionnaire, international physical activity questionnaire-short form, and The EORTC-in-patsat32. The data were analyzed using SPSS 25 software. Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t-test, ANOVA, and multivariate linear regression were used.
resultsIn the present study, the mean (standard deviation) of score of worry about cancer recurrence was 17.41 (7.88), ranging from 8-32. The results revealed that the type of surgery, illness perception, satisfaction with care, and place of treatment were the most important predictors of worry about cancer recurrence, which explained 44.3% of the variance.
conclusionThe enhancement of satisfaction with care and training coping strategies among individuals with high perceived severity of the illness contribute to the reduction of worry about cancer recurrence and adaptation to breast cancer.
