Assessing the Effect of a Rehabilitation Intervention on Exhaustion Disorders, Depression, and Return to Work: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
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. It is linked to trial NCT05314530 (Validation of the ReTA-model), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
purposeThe aim was to evaluate the effect of a Rehabilitation to Work (ReTA) model on symptoms of exhaustion disorder (ED), depression, and return to work (RTW) among healthcare workers on long-term sickness absence (LTSA) for stress-related ill-health.
methodsThe ReTA was set up as a randomized control trial (RCT), including 30 in the intervention and 41 in the control group. Physicians and nurses on LTSA were recruited via a national insurance database. The degree of self-reported ED and depression was measured using the Karolinska Exhaustion Disorder Scale (KEDS), and the Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). Data was collected at baseline, 3-month, and 1-year follow-up. A linear mixed model and Pearson chi-square were used to examine between- and within-group differences in KEDS, MADRS, and RTW.
resultsAt baseline, no differences in KEDS and MADRS were observed between the groups. KEDS decreased significantly at the 3-month (m = 20.28, m = 25.93; p = 0.023) and 1-year (m = 19.78, m = 24.83; p = 0.041) follow-up in the intervention group but not in the control group (Intervention*time: F (2, 132.595) = 4.126, p = .018). The effect size at both follow-ups was moderate to large (Cohen's d = 0.77 0.69, respectively). No effect was found in MADRS. Between the 3-month and 1-year follow-ups for RTW, there was a significant change for the intervention group (p = 0.029), indicating an increase in full RTW.
conclusionThe ReTA model is an effective treatment for ED among healthcare professionals. Further research is needed with longer follow-up periods to see the long-term effects on ED, depression, and RTW. TRIAL REGISTRY: NCT05314530.
