1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThis study examined the factor structure of the Injustice Experience Questionnaire (IEQ; Sullivan et al. in J Occup Rehabil 18:249-261, 2008) using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Two models were proposed for analysis: a single factor and a two-factor model.

methodsA total of 150 participants (81 males and 69 females, mean age = 45.48 years, SD = 10.71), with a chronic work-related musculoskeletal disorder (53 % back condition), and a mean duration of work disability of 4.34 years (SD = 5.14), completed the IEQ and measures of depression and anger. CFA was performed on the IEQ data using the maximum likelihood estimation method.

resultsNeither proposed model provided an acceptable fit; however, a good fitting model with two highly correlated factors and one error covariance was derived through post hoc model fitting. The two-factors were differentially correlated to depression and duration of work disability, but not anger.

conclusionsThe IEQ appears to be a useful tool to support the comprehensive psychosocial assessment of injured workers with long-term disability secondary to a musculoskeletal disorder. In addition to identifying perceived injustice, the IEQ may also be used to inform the choice of psychological interventions. The IEQ has construct validity and generalizability across different populations of injured workers.
