Level of distress among workers undergoing work rehabilitation for musculoskeletal disorders.
Article in Journal of occupational rehabilitation, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionMany studies have documented the high distress rates and their correlates among individuals experiencing persistent pain due to a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD). However, few have adopted a biopsychosocial perspective to understand this issue.
objectiveThe first objective of this study was to examine workers' distress levels before they start work rehabilitation and to compare it to those in a healthy population. The second objective was to assess the correlations between distress and biopsychosocial factors.
methodsThe participants were 228 workers on sick leave due to persistent pain from an MSD and who were referred to an interdisciplinary work rehabilitation program.
resultsThe workers had very high distress levels compared to normative data. Also, the results of a multiple regression showed that duration of absence, high occupational stress, perception of disability, and fear of movement and (re)injury were significantly associated with distress.
conclusionsThese results highlight the importance of considering distress not only as a predictor of work disability, but as an independent outcome measure. This shift of paradigm could provide a more comprehensive approach in the understanding of workers' disability.
