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

backgroundThe Netherlands faces 60% prevalence of chronic conditions by 2040, impacting societal participation and quality of life. Current clinical care inadequately addresses these consequences, and most hospitals do not integrate occupational health in their care.

objectivesTo develop a generic person- and work-oriented medical care model (WMCM) based on real life experiences with work-oriented care and supporting the chronically ill in active societal participation.

methodsA qualitative research project with a participative approach in one hospital (November 2019 until March 2020). In an expert meeting, a schematic representation of a work-oriented care model was developed. Subsequent discussion rounds, with professionals from different patient groups, iteratively refined the model to a WMCM.

resultsConsensus was reached after seven rounds of discussion, defining the model's core elements (1) a combination of biomedical and biopsychosocial approaches, (2) involvement of a clinical occupational physician in the treatment team, (3) a coordinating role for nursing specialists, and (4) incorporation of a work-oriented intervention plan (WoIP) into the treatment plan. Advocating early attention to societal participation, the model emphasises the WoIP and consensus on monitoring indicators. The final goal is a sustainable return to societal participation, considering both quality of life and work.

conclusionIt is feasible to develop a generic person- and work-oriented care model for patients with chronic illness within a hospital care setting. Collaboration between healthcare professionals and a specialised occupational physician, with a central role for nurses, is deemed crucial.
