The impact of family and work-related social support on musculoskeletal injury outcomes: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Journal of occupational rehabilitation, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeSocial support has been identified as a key factor in facilitating better health outcomes following injury. However, there is limited research on the role of social support in recovery from musculoskeletal injury (MSI), the leading cause of morbidity and disability in the world. The aim of this study is to review the extent to which family and work-related social support (e.g. co-workers, supervisors) has been identified as a factor in the outcomes (physical, psychological, economic) of individuals with MSI.
methodsEight online databases were searched for observational studies reporting findings on family and work-related social support in populations with MSI. Data extraction, quality assessment and a systematic critical synthesis were carried out on included studies.
resultsFourteen relevant articles were identified. The majority of the studies focused on social support from co-workers or supervisors (n = 11), while three studies focused on social support from the family. Overall, the evidence for the relation between work-related support and MSI outcomes was inconclusive. Similarly, there was limited and inconclusive evidence to demonstrate a relationship between family support and MSI outcomes.
conclusionsThe results of this review are inconclusive. Further research is needed to understand the role of social support in rehabilitation efforts following MSI. Recommendations for future research are provided.
