Employment and Labor Force Participation Among Prostate Cancer Survivors.
Article in Urology practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionDiagnosis and treatment of cancer may impair patients' ability to continue to work. We assessed the impact of a prior prostate cancer diagnosis on employment and labor force participation.
methodsUsing the National Health Interview Surveys for 2010 to 2018, we identified sample adults previously diagnosed with prostate cancer aged <65 years (prostate cancer survivors) who were currently or previously employed. We matched each prostate survivor to comparison sample adults based on age, race/ethnicity, education level, and survey year. We compared employment-related outcomes between prostate cancer survivors and comparison males, overall and as a function of time since diagnosis, and other respondent characteristics.
resultsThe final sample had 571 prostate cancer survivors and 2,849 matched comparison males. The proportions of survivors and comparison males who were employed (ie, worked for pay in the week prior to the survey) were similar (60.4% and 60.6%; adjusted difference 0.6 [95% CI: -5.2 to 6.3]), as were labor force participation rates (67.3% vs 67.3%; adjusted difference 0.7 [95% CI: -4.7 to 6.1]). Survivors were slightly more likely to be not working due to disability (16.7% vs 13.3%; adjusted difference 2.7 [95% CI: -1.2 to 6.5]), though the difference was not significant. Survivors had more bed days than comparison males (8.0 vs 5.7; adjusted difference 2.8 [95% CI: 2.0 to 3.6]) and missed more workdays (7.4 vs 3.3; adjusted difference 4.5 [95% CI: 3.6 to 5.3]).
conclusionsEmployment rates were similar between prostate cancer survivors and matched comparison males, though survivors missed work more often.
