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

Workers' compensation claims (WCC) due to mental health conditions (MHC) are the most expensive due to often lengthy periods off work. This retrospective cohort study aims to determine the factors associated with work time loss in Australian workers with accepted WCCs for MHCs, and investigate whether jurisdiction in which a claim is made affects work time loss, using administrative claims data between January 2010 and June 2011. Cox regression analysis showed that worker age, industry, occupation and type of MHC were associated with work time loss. Workers with depressive disorders had longer time loss than those with stress-related conditions. Workers from South Australia, Comcare and Victoria had the longest durations of work time loss, while Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania had shorter durations. Future research should investigate policy variations that could explain the differences in time spent on compensation between jurisdictions.
