Working conditions associated with return to work 2 years after breast cancer: insights from a cohort study.
Article in British journal of cancer, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundWork-related determinants of return to work (RTW) after breast cancer (BC) have been poorly studied.
methodsWe analysed data from 2095 patients with primary BC enrolled in the French multi-center prospective cohort CANTO between 2012 and 2018. We investigated the association between administrative, physical and psychosocial working conditions and RTW two years after diagnosis using Poisson regression with robust variance. All models were adjusted for age, education, having a partner or children, and clinical variables at diagnosis. Analyses stratified by education (up to/higher than high school) and by chemotherapy were conducted. Multiple imputations were performed.
resultsHaving no weekly rest period of 48 consecutive hours (RR = 1.36 95% CI:1.09-1.81), strenuous work postures (RR = 1.48 95% CI:1.19-1.87) and shift work (RR = 1.40 95% CI:1.11-1.75) as well as low independence of decision making (RR = 1.33 95% CI:1.04-1.81) were associated with increased non-RTW. Not perceiving her own job as boring (RR = 0.61 95% CI:0.39-0.86) was associated with decreased non-RTW. Administrative working conditions did not impact RTW.
conclusionWorking conditions emerged as potential levers to help women RTW. Our results underline the need for more targeted rehabilitation programs and personalized interventions to effectively help women in their RTW journey after BC.
