Treatment burden and ability to work.
Review in Breathe (Sheffield, England), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Treatment burden can adversely affect patient functioning and wellbeing, including their ability work. Workers with multimorbidity, such as ageing, are disproportionately affected and their number is set to rise as the workforce ages. Complex treatment regimens and their sequalae can be a barrier to a successful return to work or even incompatible with work demands. Enlightened employers will seek to accommodate the burden of treatment by implementing reasonable adjustments. However, where the employer is unable or unwilling to accommodate such adjustments, the result may be loss of employment, with often devastating consequences to the worker's physical and emotional health and wellbeing. Collaborative action in three key settings: the healthcare system, the workplace and the state can help reduce barriers, thereby enabling working-age people with chronic health conditions or disabilities remain in, and benefit from, employment. EDUCATIONAL
aimsTo raise awareness on how treatment burden can adversely affect health, work and societal outcomes in working age people.To promote good practice in relation to managing treatment burden in healthcare and work settings, so that working age people with chronic health conditions or disabilities can remain in and benefit from work.
