They paid attention to the whole of me in some way, both physically, mentally, and everything in between: a qualitative study of patients' experiences of interdisciplinary rehabilitation (PREVSAM) in primary care for musculoskeletal disorders.

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
purposeTo explore and describe patients' experiences and perceptions of rehabilitation according to the rehabilitation model 'Prevention of sickness absence through early identification and rehabilitation of at-risk patients with musculoskeletal pain' (PREVSAM).
methodA qualitative study was conducted, with individual semi-structured interviews analysed using qualitative content analysis. Fifteen patients from three primary care rehabilitation clinics in Sweden who had undergone rehabilitation based on the PREVSAM model participated.
resultsFour categories were identified from the participants' experiences: Gratitude for the holistic view, Challenging but clarifying to create a health plan, Different needs for addressing work-related factors, and Difficulties and negative experiences. From these categories, an overarching theme was conceptualised:
conclusionParticipants were generally positive towards the PREVSAM model. The addition of occupational therapy and psychological treatment to physiotherapy was seen by many, albeit not all, as enriching the rehabilitation. Collaboration with the workplace was mainly considered 'good in theory'. The wide variation in the need for support underscore the importance of person-centredness.
