The Role of Psychological Wellbeing in a Cross-Provider Worksite Healthcare Management Program for Employees with Musculoskeletal Disorders.
Trial report in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Musculoskeletal and mental disorders are often comorbid, with complex correlations of pain, impairment due to pain, disability, and psychological wellbeing. This study investigates the role of psychological wellbeing in a worksite healthcare program for employees within a German randomized controlled trial. Methods: For our analyses we used data of the module for minor musculoskeletal complaints (N = 180). The intervention included a workplace-related training and case manager support. Results: Changes over time were significant in the disability score (t(179) = 9.04, p < 0.001), pain intensity (t(179) = 9.92, p < 0.001), and psychological wellbeing (t(179) = −4.65, p < 0.001). Individuals with low vs. high psychological wellbeing showed significant differences in their disability scoret0,t1 (tt0(178) = −4.230, pt0 < 0.001, tt1(178) = −2.733, pt1 < 0.001), pain intensityt0,t1 (tt0(178) = −3.127, pt0 < 0.01, tt1(178) = −3.345, pt1 < 0.01, and motivationt0 (tt0(178) = 4.223, pt0 < 0.001). The disability score∆ mediates the impact of pain intensity∆ on psychological wellbeingt1 (beta = 0.155, p < 0.05). Psychological wellbeing∆ had an impact on the disability scoret1 (beta = −0.161, p < 0.01). Conclusions: The lower the psychological wellbeing is at an intervention’s beginning, the higher the potential is for its improvement, which might affect individuals’ experienced impairment due to pain. In order to achieve the best outcomes, interventions should include both pain-related and psychological aspects. Future research needs to explore the causality of the found interrelationships further.
