Initial depression severity and the trajectory of recovery following cognitive-behavioral intervention for work disability.
Article in Journal of occupational rehabilitation, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
introductionThe present study examined the recovery trajectories of a group of mildly depressed and moderately-severely depressed injured workers enrolled in a 10-week community-based rehabilitation program.
methodsA sample of 168 individuals (75 women, 93 men) with a disabling musculoskeletal pain condition participated in the research. On the basis of BDI-II (1) scores at pre-treatment assessment, patients were classified as either mildly (BDI-II =9-16; N=68) or moderately-severely depressed (BDI-II >16; N: 100).
resultsBoth groups showed significant reductions in depression, but individuals in the (initially) moderately-severely depressed group were more likely to score in the depressed range of the BDI-II at post-treatment than individuals who were initially mildly depressed. For the mildly depressed group, early treatment reductions in pain catastrophizing, and perceived disability predicted improvement in depression scores. For the moderately-severely depressed group, none of the early treatment changes predicted improvement in depression; only late treatment reductions in pain catastrophizing and fear of movement/re-injury predicted improvement in depression. Chi-square analysis revealed that patients who were no longer depressed at post-treatment had the highest probability of returning to work (91%), followed by (post-treatment) mildly depressed patients (60%), and finally (post-treatment) moderately-severely depressed patients (26%), chi(2)=38.9, p < 0.001.
conclusionIn order to maximize return to work potential, the content, structure and duration of rehabilitation programs requires modification as a function of the injured workers level of the depression severity.
