Occupational rehabilitation policy and practice in the Philippines: initiatives and challenges.
Article in Journal of occupational rehabilitation, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionChallenges to occupational rehabilitation or work integration or reintegration which include the socio-political system, poor labour infrastructure, legislation implementation and monitoring limit work participation of an estimated eight million Filipinos with disabilities. This paper aims to present government-level initiatives and ongoing challenges of occupational rehabilitation as a field of practice and research in the Philippines.
methodsWe performed a review of occupational rehabilitation literature relevant to the Philippines looking at legislation, policies, and practice.
resultsWhile several socio-political mechanisms exists, we found no concrete information on the surveillance or distinction of services and their effectiveness provided under occupational rehabilitation and there was also no systemic reporting of the characteristics of the population (persons with disabilities vs. injured workers) requiring those services--despite the effort of the Philippines in adopting a state policy for the total development of persons with disabilities towards gainful employment.
conclusionsThe dearth of information and literature in occupational rehabilitation is likely related to the scarcity of research in the broader area of occupational safety and health and work disability management in the Philippines. The findings of this study could guide work disability management and address further development of infrastructure in occupational rehabilitation in the Philippines.
