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

purposeThis study is a process evaluation of the use of Individual Placement and Support (IPS) and Participatory Workplace Intervention (PWI) to increase the work participation of people with work disabilities. We ran the evaluation alongside a randomized controlled trial (RCT), to investigate whether and to what extent IPS and PWI were executed according to protocol.

methodsThe study population consisted of clients with work disabilities, and their job coaches who were employed by the municipality of a large city in the Netherlands. Data were collected between September 2019 and November 2022 using registration forms, accompanied by researchers' notes and logbooks.

resultsFor IPS the dose delivered was reasonable and the IPS fidelity measurement score was fair. The job search focused on paid work for almost all clients and was based on their wishes as indicated in the protocol, but integration of employment services with (health) care was often lacking. A minority of the clients who were assigned to PWI received the intervention, often because the client did not start work within the follow-up period and a workplace was a requirement to apply the intervention.

conclusionThe results of this study show that IPS was executed reasonably and with a fair fidelity, which indicated implementation was sufficient to find an effect on work participation in the RCT. PWI was barely realized in practice and no conclusions regarding the fidelity could be drawn. We therefore conclude that we cannot expect PWI to have any effect on work participation in the RCT.
