Potential profile analysis of return-to-work readiness and self-efficacy in postoperative breast cancer patients who have returned to work.

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
Objective: To identify the latent profiles of return-to-work readiness (RRTW) and return-to-work self-efficacy (RTW-SE) among postoperative breast cancer patients who have returned to work, and to analyze their influencing factors, thereby providing a basis for improving their work-related quality of life. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling to recruit 173 breast cancer patients from a tertiary Grade A hospital in Chengdu, China. All participants had returned to work for at least 3 months post-surgery. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the 9-item Franche RRTW Scale, and the 11-item Lagerveld RTW-SE Scale. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was employed to identify distinct subgroups, and logistic regression analysis was used to examine the influencing factors. Results: LPA identified two distinct latent profiles: The "Uncertain Maintenance-Low Self-Efficacy" group (34.68%): Characterized by high scores on the Uncertain Maintenance dimension of RRTW and low levels of RTW-SE. The "Proactive Maintenance-High Self-Efficacy" group (65.32%): Characterized by high scores on the Proactive Maintenance dimension of RRTW and high levels of RTW-SE. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a daily working time of 6-8 hours (odds ratio [OR] = 2.303, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.058-5.015), older age (OR = 1.062, 95% CI: 1.003-1.125), and higher work satisfaction (OR = 2.078, 95% CI: 1.319-3.271) were significantly associated with belonging to the high self-efficacy profile (all P < 0.05). Conclusion: Postoperative breast cancer patients who have returned to work exhibit significant heterogeneity in their RRTW and RTW-SE profiles. Targeted intervention strategies are necessary for younger patients, those with longer working hours, and those with lower job satisfaction. Optimizing work schedules, enhancing job satisfaction, and providing enhanced psychological support for younger patients are recommended to facilitate better work adaptation.
