The role of common mental disorders on sustainable working life-a cohort study among discordant Swedish twin pairs.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. 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
objectivesTo investigate patterns of sustainable working life, defined as a few or no interruptions from paid work due to sickness absence, unemployment or disability pension among Swedish twins with and without common mental disorders (CMDs). We also sought to examine the role of baseline sociodemographic factors for the identified patterns.
designProspective cohort study.
settingPopulation-based sample of twins born in Sweden.
participantsThe sample of 5529 CMDs, discordant twin pairs between ages 18 and 59 years at baseline in 1998 (50% women) were followed annually for working life statuses using data obtained from national registers until 2020. PRIMARY OUTCOME: Sustainable working life. MEASURES: Group-based trajectory modelling was applied to identify distinct trajectory groups. Multinomial logistic regression models estimating ORs were performed.
resultsFor those with CMDs, a three-trajectory solution was the best-fitting model, while for those without CMDs, a two-trajectory solution had best fit; in both groups, sustainable working life constituted the largest trajectory group (71% and 83%, respectively). No sustainable working life yielded 14.5% and 17% in those with CMDs and those without CMDs, respectively, whereas, among those with CMDs, another 14.5% had a trajectory with decreasing sustainable working life. Higher education was associated with a lower likelihood (OR 0.12-0.47) and being single (with or without children, OR 2.23-2.51) with a higher likelihood of belonging to those trajectories characterised by no sustainable working life.
conclusionA small cluster among those with CMDs tended to follow a decreasing sustainable working life pattern, while a minority with or without CMDs had no sustainable working life. Although a sustainable working life seems common, those with CMDs should be identified early for preventive actions and support to remain in paid work.
