1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPeople with inflammatory arthritis often experience challenges at work and balancing paid work and energy in everyday life. Low work ability is common, and people with inflammatory arthritis face high risks of losing their jobs and permanent exclusion from the labour market. Context-specific tailored rehabilitation targeting persons with inflammatory arthritis is limited. The aim of this study is to describe the development of WORK-ON - a vocational rehabilitation for people with inflammatory arthritis.

methodsFollowing the Medical Research Council's framework for complex interventions, WORK-ON was developed based on existing evidence, interviews with patients and rehabilitation clinicians, a workshop, and an iterative process.

resultsThe six-month vocational rehabilitation, WORK-ON, consists of 1) an initial assessment and goal setting by an occupational therapist experienced in rheumatology rehabilitation, 2) coordination by the same occupational therapist and individual support, including navigating across the primary and secondary health sectors, as well as social care, 3) group sessions for peer support, and 4) optionally individually tailored consultations with physiotherapists, nurses, or social workers.

conclusionWORK-ON is ready to be tested in a feasibility study.

trial registrationThe Regional Committees on Health Ethics for Southern Denmark stated that no formal ethical approval was necessary in this study (20,192,000-105).
