Quality of work experience after angioplasty or heart surgery: a monocentric cohort study.

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
purposeThe study evaluated work experience changes and its determinants after return to work (RTW) in angioplasty or heart surgery patients.
methodsDuring a 1-year period (2014) in a Rehabilitation Hospital in northwestern Italy, we approached 253 patients (19.3% of inpatients). 199 patients consented to complete a survey on job characteristics, job satisfaction, job involvement, illness perception, depression, anxiety, adherence to therapy, and sociodemographic characteristics. The data were analysed with paired sample t tests and random intercept regression models.
results156 patients completed both the baseline and the 6-month follow-up assessments. After 6 months, 137 (88%) patients return to work (86% male, M age = 51.9 ± 8.1). The patients predominantly underwent angioplasty/bypass (46%) or valve replacement/repair (38%). Work hours (WO), job satisfaction (JS), and job involvement (JI) significantly decreased after RTW (WO: t
conclusionsThe study showed that many patients who RTW after angioplasty or heart surgery have poorer work experiences relative to changes in psychological and physical demands and more passive roles.
