Facilitators and barriers to return to work in patients after heart surgery.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundRecognition of the factors influencing returning to work by people after heart surgery is very significant in performing supportive interventions. Factors affecting return to work of Iranian patients after surgery are unknown. Therefore, a qualitative study is in demand in order to close this knowledge gap. This study was aimed to explore the facilitators and barriers of return to work after heart surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis qualitative study was conducted during 2020-2021. People after heart surgery were studied in this research. Nineteen interviews were performed with 17 participants. The main participants were selected from the cardiac surgery ward of Golestan Province Hospital. The sampling method was purposeful. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Questions were asked in an unguided and open-ended manner. Data analysis was performed by qualitative content analysis.
resultsAccording to the results, "perceived psychosocial support," "individual characteristics," and "occupational factors" were considered as facilitators and "effects of heart surgery" and "limited support of public and private institutions" were introduced as barriers to return to work in patients after heart surgery.
conclusionsThe effects caused by heart surgery and limited support of public and private institutions were identified as barriers to return to work. Cardiac rehabilitation after surgery can reduce the impact of heart surgery and can help people to return to work. It is recommended that the planners of the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare and Health, with the support of insurance organizations, help solve the work problems of people after heart surgery.
