Effects of vocational rehabilitation on the employment status of young, middle-aged patients with coronary heart disease based on society ecosystems theory: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Trials, 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
backgroundCoronary heart disease (CHD) is increasingly prevalent among younger populations. Many young and middle-aged CHD patients hope to return to work as soon as possible to alleviate the financial burden on their families and reduce medical expenses, but their employment status remains suboptimal. Vocational rehabilitation has been proven to help overcome work-related barriers and promote employment, yet there is limited research on this topic among CHD patients in China.
methodsThis is a single-center, randomized controlled trial. Two hundred sixty-two eligible participants will be gathered, and they will be divided into 1:1 control and intervention groups. The control group will receive routine nursing measures, and the intervention will undergo vocational rehabilitation for 3 months. Data will be collected at enrolment and end of the intervention. The main outcome is return-to-work rate; secondary outcomes are return-to-work self-efficacy, quality of life and anxiety. All participants will be included in the analysis in accordance with the intention-to-treat principle. DISCUSSION: The findings of this study will facilitate the early return to work for employable-age patients with CHD, thereby enhancing their quality of life, alleviating anxiety and mitigating financial stress. Additionally, these findings may have broader implications for the management and rehabilitation of other chronic diseases.
