Fitness to re-join job: Neuropsychiatric perspective.
Article in Journal of neurosciences in rural practice. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: Evaluating "Fitness to Re-join Job" and certification in persons with Neuro-Psychiatric Disorders is an indispensable professional responsibility. However, there is little documented guidance on clinically approaching this particular issue. This study aimed to study the sociodemographic, clinical, and employment profile of patients who sought fitness to re-join their job from the tertiary neuropsychiatric center. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences in Bengaluru, India. A retrospective chart review was adapted for the purpose. One hundred and two case files referred to medical board for fitness to rejoin the duty were reviewed from January 2013 to December 2015. Apart from the descriptive statistics, the Chi-square test or Fisher exact test was used to test the association between categorical variables. Results: Patients' mean (standard deviation) age was 40.1 (10.1) years; 85.3% were married, and 91.2% were male. Common reasons for seeking "fitness certification" were work absenteeism (46.1%), illness affecting the work (27.4%), and varied reasons (28.4%). The presence of neurological disorders, sensory-motor deficits, cognitive decline, brain damage/insult, poor drug compliance, irregular follow-ups, and poor or partial treatment response were associated with an unfitness to rejoin the job. Conclusion: This study shows that work absenteeism and the impact of illness on work are common reasons for referral. Irreversible neurobehavioural problems and deficits impacting work are common reasons for unfitness to rejoin the job. There is a need for a systematic schedule to assess the fitness for the job in patients with neuropsychiatric disorders.
