Cancer Recurrence Fear and Return to Work in Breast Cancer Survivors:The Mediating Effects of Health Literacy.
Article in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Purpose: This study investigates the relationships between breast cancer survivors' return to work, health literacy, and cancer recurrence fear. By employing structural equation modeling, we examine the mediating effect of health literacy on the interplay between cancer recurrence fear and the ability to return to work. Patients and Methods: We conducted a survey involving 190 breast cancer survivors, utilizing a general information questionnaire, the Concern About Recurrence Scale, and the Health Literacy Management Scale. Results: Our findings indicate that only 54.2% of the participants successfully returned to work. Notably, health literacy was positively correlated with return to work ( Conclusion: The findings highlight a concerning situation for breast cancer survivors regarding their return to work. Cancer recurrence fear significantly impacts their ability to re-enter the workforce, both directly and indirectly through health literacy. We recommend that healthcare providers focus on alleviating anxiety related to cancer recurrence and enhancing health literacy to support survivors in their reintegration into society.
