Screening Young Adult Cancer Patients for Vocational Rehabilitation Services: A Vocational Rehabilitation Readiness Screening Tool.
Article in Journal of occupational rehabilitation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeWe aimed to develop an online vocational rehabilitation (VR) readiness screening (VRRS) tool for young adults diagnosed with cancer. VR readiness was defined as being physically and cognitively ready to enter or return to work or school.
methodsWe developed an initial VRRS tool informed by previous studies, a scoping review to determine such a tool had not already been developed, and consultation with subject matter experts. We iteratively refined the tool on the basis of four rounds of interviews with young adults with cancer. The refined VRRS was then administered online to patients before they attended scheduled clinic appointments. We evaluated the VRRS completion rate; the ability of the online VRRS tool to assess patients' readiness for VR; and the concordance between clinical interview and that of the online VRRS tool, which was determined by using Cohen's κ or a fitting alternative; κ ≥ .61 suggested clinical utility.
resultsThe proportion of study participants completing the VRRS was 72.3% (136/188, 95% CI [65.4%, 78.6%]) and 69.2% (81/117, 95% CI [60.0%, 77.4%]) of participants who completed a clinical interview also completed the online VRRS tool. All clinical interview determinations and 93.8% (76/81) of online VRRS tool indicated participants' VR readiness. The VRRS-clinical interview agreement rate was 93.8% (95% CI [86.2%, 98.0%]). The prevalence index, bias index, and prevalence- and bias-adjusted κ statistic with 95% CIs were 0.938 [- 0.991, - 0.886], 0.062 [0.009, 0.114], and 0.877 [0.724, 0.959], respectively.
conclusionThe VRRS tool is thus both feasible and effective in this sample of young adults with cancer.
