Rebuilding life after breast cancer treatment among Korean breast cancer survivors: an integrative review.
Review in Women's health nursing (Seoul, Korea), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis integrative review examined posttreatment experiences among Korean breast cancer survivors and synthesized the findings within a life-reconstitution framework.
methodsWhittemore and Knafl's integrative review methodology was followed. Korean and international databases were searched from inception through January 19, 2026. Twelve publications met the inclusion criteria. Empirical studies were appraised using the 2018 Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool, and findings were synthesized through constant comparison. Reporting was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 statement.
resultsMost included publications used cross-sectional designs and reported survivorship outcomes as separate variables rather than as components of a connected process. Four interrelated domains were identified: survivorship context, physical and functional constraints, psychological adjustment and role reintegration, and modifiable domains for survivorship care. Persistent physical problems, including pain, sleep disturbance, and activity limitations, formed the functional context of survivorship. Psychological concerns, including body-image concerns and fear of cancer recurrence, together with return to work, were central to posttreatment adjustment. Exercise, diet, self-management, and surveillance support were identified as potentially modifiable areas.
conclusionPosttreatment survivorship among Korean breast cancer survivors can be understood as a process of rebuilding everyday life while managing persistent physical and psychosocial challenges. Integrating previous findings within a life-reconstitution framework provides a process-oriented perspective for survivorship research and care.
