Update on Individual Placement and Support for New Populations: A Meta-Analytic Review.

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
purposeSince individual placement and support (IPS) emerged as the premier evidence-based vocational rehabilitation for people with serious mental illness (SMI) in the early 2000s, several groups around the world have extended IPS to new disability groups. This review examines the rigorous evidence for five new populations: adults with early psychosis, common mental disorders, substance use disorders, posttraumatic stress disorders, and severe medical conditions.
methodsThis review updates the employment outcome findings from six recent systematic reviews of controlled trials of IPS for new populations using an electronic search. Using meta-analyses, the overall odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for IPS-control differences in employment rate were calculated for RCTs of three new populations.
resultsThe search identified 19 controlled trials of IPS for new populations, including 9 published since 2019. Meta-analyses yielded ORs of 3.39 (95% CI: 2.11-5.46, p < .0001, N = 393) for 5 studies of adults with early psychosis, 1.42 (95% CI: 0.96-2.09, p = .08, N = 1728) for 5 studies of adults with common mental disorders and 1.88 (95% CI: 1.13-3.15, p = .02, N = 1830) for 5 studies of adults with substance use disorders. Two studies each of veterans with posttraumatic stress disorders and patients with serious medical conditions had a mix of small and large ORs.
conclusionsIPS, the only vocational rehabilitation intervention with robust employment results, has been extended to several new populations with generally positive employment outcomes in controlled trials. However, poor implementation, small sample sizes, and other methodological problems limited the overall quality of this literature.
