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
backgroundMental disorders are one of the main causes of absenteeism in Brazil. The aim of the present study was to describe the occurrence of mental and behavioral disorders (MBD) among federal civil servants, present the data to managers and suggest measures to reduce absenteeism in this population.
methodsIn the present cross-sectional study performed from January through December 2016 we analyzed medical records of employees at a public institution in the state of Ceará, Northeastern Brazil, who were granted sick leaves for MBD. The data were obtained from the Integrated Subsystem of Workers' Health Care (Subsistema Integrado de Atenção à Saúde do Servidor - SIASS) platform and the Federal Government's Transparency Portal.
resultsMental disorders were the main cause of sick leaves along the analyzed period. Ninety-two employees were away from work for this reason, corresponding to 3% of the institution's employees and accounting for 5,081 working days lost. Mood and stress-related disorders were the most frequent causes of sick leaves. Mental disorders due to psychoactive substance use and physiological disturbances accounted for longest average number of sick leave days per employee.
conclusionThe results reinforce the notion that mental health and work are indissociable in regard to productivity and efficiency within federal public service. The institution's management backed the creation of a multidisciplinary service of psychological support for employees on sick leave.
