Health and work: what physicians need to know.
Article in Clinical medicine (London, England), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Employment, along with education, is central to the promotion of social mobility and the reduction of health inequalities. For the most part, however, physicians have limited exposure to occupational medicine during their training and rarely receive much in the way of formal training about occupational issues except those that fall commonly within their area of specialisation. Here, we illustrate why work and good employment can be so important for health and, therefore, why it should matter to all physicians. Given that under half of the UK population have access to occupational health services through their employer, physicians should be able to recognise any harm to health caused by work, so we describe the principles of eliciting a good occupational history. There is an important relationship between unemployment and poor health which will be discussed, illustrating the importance of being able to support people with long-term conditions and disabilities to remain in work for as long as they wish to do so. Patients expect to be able to seek advice from their physician about taking time off work because of ill health, planning a return to work after sickness absence and whether or not they need to change their work status because of their health condition. Therefore, we describe the fitnote: what it is for, how to complete one well and what core principles are needed in order to give patients good advice about working.
