Subjective quality of life according to work status following interdisciplinary work rehabilitation consequent to musculoskeletal disability.

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
introductionIndividualized subjective quality of life (ISQoL) is the appraisal of quality of life according to personal values, desired goal attainment and life priorities. "Gap" is a way to operationalize ISQoL. ISQoL is rarely measured by interdisciplinary work rehabilitation (IWR) programs attended by the musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) population. These programs commonly measure pain intensity, physical capacity, perceived disability, distress and return to work.
objectivesThe aims of this study were to compare ISQoL according to work status and reference values and to explore the relationships between ISQoL and common IWR measures.
methodsSix months after completing an IWR program, 40 working and 31 not-working participants completed questionnaires documenting work status, pain, ISQoL gap, health-related quality of life (SF-36, PCS and MCS), perceived disability and distress.
resultsNo significant difference in global ISQoL gap was found between working and not-working participants. When compared to reference values considerable variability exists but globally, for both groups, ISQoL gap scores were below average. The following clinical variables were related to global ISQoL (P < 0.05): pain (r = -0.42), PCS (r = -0.37), MCS (r = -0.56), perceived disability (r = 0.37) and distress (r = 0.61). High distress, present in both groups, explains 38% of the global ISQoL gap variance and PCS adds 4%.
conclusionFollowing IWR programs for the chronic MSD population, global ISQoL gap is not related to work status. The use of a client-centered interactive computerized measure of ISQoL reveals that domains related to emotional well-being are likely the most problematic for the persistently disabled MSD population.
