The impact of low education and poor health on unemployment varies by work life stage.

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
objectivesThe aim of this study is to examine associations and interactions of education, and physical and mental health with unemployment in early, mid, and late work life.
methodsThis cross-sectional study uses data from 69,118 respondents from Lifelines. Health status was measured with the RAND-36, education was self-reported, and participants working <12 h per week or indicating to be unemployed were considered unemployed. The relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) was calculated to measure interaction on the additive scale.
resultsInteractions of low education and poor mental health were found in early [RERI: 2.13; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.61, 3.64], mid (1.41; 0.61, 2.20) and late (0.58; 0.04, 1.11) work life. Interaction between low education and poor physical health was only found in early (RERI: 1.66; 95% CI 0.26, 3.07) and mid-work life (1.25; 0.56, 1.93).
conclusionsLow education and poor physical and mental health exacerbate each other's impact on unemployment varying by work life stage. Policies addressing unemployment may become more effective if they better account for the physical and mental health status of adults in certain stages of their work life.
