Predictors of sustained return to work after sick leave due to mental disorders.
Review in Revista brasileira de medicina do trabalho : publicacao oficial da Associacao Nacional de Medicina do Trabalho-ANAMT. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Mental disorders are brain dysfunctions that impair occupational performance and are associated with prolonged absences from work and a higher likelihood of relapse. Sustained return to work refers to resuming either original or modified job duties for at least 1 month without recurrent sick leave. This outcome is linked to improved health indicators among workers and reduced socioeconomic burdens resulting from prolonged absences. This study aimed to identify predictors of sustained return to work following sick leave due to mental disorders, based on a literature review conducted in the MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, and SciELO databases, including articles published up to July 2023. Quantitative studies were included if they clearly defined sustained return to work and involved workers on leave due to mental disorders. Predictors were categorized into sociodemographic, clinical, psychosocial, and occupational domains. Positive predictors of sustained return to work included favorable expectations regarding the sick leave, self-efficacy, supervisor support, notification systems for prolonged absences, and partial sick leave arrangements. Negative predictors included a greater number of mental disorder episodes, older age, persistent symptoms, job strain, psychiatric/psychological follow-up, medication use, extended duration of leave, employment in small enterprises or specific sectors, and higher educational attainment. Female sex emerged as an inconsistent predictor, with mixed findings. In conclusion, sustained return to work is influenced by multiple factors and results from the interaction between individual and contextual elements. Therefore, collaboration among all stakeholders is essential for successful worker reintegration.
