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

backgroundAs populations age, more knowledge is needed on people who extend their working lives. The aim of this study was to explore if prior sickness absence (> 14 days) and/or disability pension (SADP) in mental and/or somatic diagnoses were associated with time until work exit after ages 65-69 and ≥ 70, respectively, among women and men.

methodsThis prospective population-based cohort study included all 65-69-year-olds (cohort65, n = 201,263) and ≥ 70-year-olds (cohort70, n = 93,751) who were in paid work in Sweden in 2014. SADP was measured in 2010-2014 as yes/no and categorised by number of days. Work was defined as work income ≥ 75% of the income requirement for SA benefits. Work exits were observed between 2015 and 2018. Linked microdata were analysed using Accelerated Failure Time model to derive Time Ratios (TR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI), adjusting for sociodemographic factors and branch of industry, and censoring for death and emigration.

resultsMost individuals had no prior SADP (cohort65: 66.3% women, 75.8% men; cohort70: 96.8% women, 97% men). In both cohorts and sexes, ~ 80% remained in paid work at least some time during follow-up, and ~ 41% worked throughout the follow-up. In cohort65, women with prior mental SADP (TR 0.94; 95%CI 0.93-0.96), and women (0.95; 0.94-0.96) and men (0.94; 0.93-0.95) with prior somatic SADP had marginally shorter time until work exit than individuals of the same sex without the corresponding SADP. Prior SA was generally not associated with work exit in cohort70.

conclusionsNeither mental nor somatic SADP was strongly associated with time until work exit.
