Assessing Functional Limitations in Workers with a Common Mental Disorder or a Musculoskeletal Disorder: A Scoping Review of Questionnaires.
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
purposeApproximately, 80% of sick leave involve workers dealing with a common mental disorder (CMD) or a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD). Upon returning to work (RTW), these workers may encounter challenges, including functional limitations at work. However, assessing these limitations is complex. This study aims to map existing questionnaires that evaluate functional limitations in individuals with CMD or MSD.
methodsA scoping review was conducted following the methods of the Joanna Briggs Institute's (JBI) Scoping Reviews Methodology Group, utilizing five databases: ProQuest, EBSCO, Scopus, Cochrane, and PsycNET. Articles were included if they presented a questionnaire evaluating functional limitations or related concepts in individuals with CMD or MSD.
resultsA total of 541 articles were identified, with 6 articles selected after the screening process. The most frequently assessed dimensions in the selected questionnaires were physical (in 5 tools) and cognitive (in 3 tools). A thematic analysis was performed to develop a unified classification of dimensions and identify various types of functional limitations, addressing the inconsistent terminology across the questionnaires.
conclusionPhysical limitations seem to be more objective and easier to assess than psychological limitations. Future research should focus on psychological limitations to enhance understanding among healthcare professionals and individuals with CMD or MSD.
