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

background and purposeAbsence from work due to illness is common in many western countries and has many negative consequences for both the individual and society. Since 2020 Swedish healthcare regions are required to provide resources to coordinate the rehabilitation process, a complex system involving medical as well as work-related parties, where both the physician and the rehabilitation coordinator play a central role. The aim of this study was to describe how primary care physicians experience the role of and the collaboration with a rehabilitation coordinator. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe used a qualitative design doing semi-structured interviews with primary care physicians (n= 9) in the Skåne healthcare region. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed using qualitative content analysis.

resultsOne main category "An external and internal connecting point that has improved the sick-listing and rehabilitation process", and four subcategories: "Provides relief for the individual physician"; "Offers practical support at the clinic"; "Gives increased sense of security for the patients" and "Sufficiently trained, with potential to take further responsibility", were determined.

conclusionsThe study shows that primary care physicians experienced benefits from a close collaboration with a rehabilitation coordinator, feeling less lonely. The rehabilitation coordinator is often regarded as having a central role in insurance medicine related tasks, but an even more active role is desired.
