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

purposePersons with disabilities can face challenges in obtaining high quality jobs during critical work transitions that are linked to worker well-being and opportunities for sustainable career growth. There is a need to identify and describe employment interventions that support persons living with disabilities in obtaining high quality jobs and advancing in their careers during critical work transitions.

methodsA scoping review of published intervention research was conducted. Two parallel searches focusing on job quality and career advancement were carried out and merged. Articles were screened at the title and abstract level and at full text level by two reviewers. A narrative synthesis was undertaken to examine the impact of relevant interventions on job quality and career advancement during critical work transitions.

resultsSearches yielded 5858 studies (2543 job quality studies; 3315 career advancement studies). Fifteen studies were included from the job quality search and one study was included from the career advancement search. Studies originated from 3 different countries, the most prevalent being the United States of America (n = 14). Eight studies focussed on vocational rehabilitation interventions, six focused on interventions at post-secondary educational settings, one study focused on individualized placement services and two focussed on customised employment. The included studies offered limited measurements of job quality outcomes and career advancement. Vocational rehabilitation interventions were promising for enhancing job quality at the early career phase, particularly when delivered within educational institutions.

conclusionOverall, evidence is lacking on the interventions that promote job quality and career advancement at different phases of the working life course. Additional research is needed to develop applied insights that enhance current programs, ensuring persons with disabilities can navigate career transitions and to promote job quality and career advancement.
