An Employer-Sponsored Musculoskeletal Care Coordination Service Can Improve Clinical Outcomes and Self-Reported Productivity.
Article in Journal of occupational and environmental medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the effects of participation with a novel musculoskeletal care coordination service on clinical outcomes, self-reported productivity, and satisfaction.
methodsProspective analysis of participants using the service from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019.
resultsOne hundred eighty nine participants were enrolled; 54 participants completed their recommended clinical pathway. Low back pain was the most common musculoskeletal issue (N = 86, 46%). 88 participants (47%) were triaged to home exercise and 59 (31%) to physical therapy. Behavioral health issues were common: 47 participants (25%) were referred to their EAP. Only 30 participants (16%) required a medical referral. Engagement was associated with improvements in pain, physical function, mood, and self-reported productivity (P < 0.01). The net promotor score for this service was 95.
conclusionsEmployers with populations for whom musculoskeletal complaints are common might benefit from integrating a musculoskeletal care coordination service in their benefits offering.
