Occupational Factors and Labor Market Outcomes Among Individuals with Sickness Absence due to Common Mental Disorders: A Population-Wide Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of occupational rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo investigate how job demands, control, strain, and occupational sector and branch affect labor market outcomes following sickness absence (SA) due to common mental disorders (CMDs).
methodsThis nationwide register-based cohort study included all residents in Sweden aged 25-55 who began a new > 30-day SA spell due to a CMD (ICD-10: F32-33, F40-43) in 2011-2013 (n = 79,673). Occupational sector and branch were identified through registers, and job demands, control, and strain were assessed using the Swedish Job Exposure Matrix. We used multinomial logistic regression to estimate associations between occupational factors and different unemployment and SA/disability pension (DP) durations during a three-year follow-up.
resultsPublic sector workers were less likely to have > 180 unemployment days (OR = 0.3, 95% CI 0.31-0.35). Working in education and public administration and in health and social services was associated with a lower likelihood of > 180 unemployment days, but a higher likelihood of > 365 SA/DP days. Low-control, passive (low control/low demands), and high-strain (low control/high demand) jobs were associated with an increased likelihood of both > 180 unemployment days and > 365 SA/DP days. For > 180 unemployment days, the ORs were 1.7 (95% CI 1.62-1.82) for low-control, 1.8 (95% CI 1.70-1.98) for passive, and 1.4 (95% CI 1.23-1.54) for high-strain jobs. For > 365 SA/DP days, the ORs were 1.3 (95% CI 1.22-1.34), 1.3 (95% CI 1.22-1.41), and 1.3 (95% CI 1.15-1.39), respectively.
conclusionParticularly among individuals with SA due to CMDs, job demands, control, and strain are associated with future labor market exclusion and may be important targets for intervention.
