Work participation after receiving multidisciplinary treatment or acceptance and commitment therapy intervention for return to work: long-term follow-up of a randomized controlled trial among sick-listed individuals with mental disorders and/or chronic pain.
Trial report in BMC public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundThe return-to-work (RTW) process for individuals on long-term sick leave can be complex. Vocational rehabilitation may facilitate RTW; however, many intervention studies often have relatively short follow-up periods. The purpose of this study was to assess long-term work participation 2-7 years after the initiation of a three-armed randomized controlled trial aimed at RTW for individuals on long-term sick leave because of mental disorders and/or chronic pain.
methodsThis study followed 220 participants out of 402 (response rate 55%, 205 female) who had previously participated in a randomized controlled trial. They were allocated to one of three groups: multidisciplinary team assessment and individualized treatment (MDT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) or a control group. The participants were followed up at two, three, four, five, six, and seven years after inclusion. The outcome, work participation, was assessed using registry data and defined as having the main source of annual income from paid work during the follow-up years.
resultsParticipants in the MDT intervention group were, to a larger extent, in paid work during follow-up in years four (9.0% points), five (2.5% points), six (7.6% points), and seven (4.1% points) after inclusion, compared to the control group. Participants in the ACT intervention group were, to a larger extent, in paid work during follow-up in years four (14.8% points), six (17.6% points), and seven (13.9% points) after inclusion, compared to the control group.
conclusionThis study, primarily involving female individuals on long-term sick leave, suggests that both MDT and ACT interventions can improve long-term work participation. The results also indicate some time-lag effect of the interventions.
trial registrationThe original randomized study was registered at the Clinicaltrials.gov Register Platform (ID NCT03343457); registered on November 15, 2017 (retrospectively registered).
