Young adults with a history of depression and/or anxiety: the role of sociodemographic and health-related factors in not being sickness absent.
Article in Journal of occupational health, 2026. 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
objectivesThe continuity of mental health problems from childhood to adulthood is well acknowledged, as is the impact on work ability. However, knowledge is scarce about individuals who maintain work ability and have no sickness absence (SA), despite mental health problems. The aim was to identify sociodemographic and health-related factors among private and public employees with a history of depression and/or anxiety, and no SA.
methodsThis prospective cohort study included 9039 Swedish twin individuals born between 1975 and 1986, with and without a history of depression and/or anxiety, and employed in the private or public sectors. Survey data from 2005 were used to classify self-rated depression, anxiety, and overall health. Data on SA, education, occupational class, outpatient health care use, and prescribed antidepressants were obtained from national registries. Participants were prospectively followed for SA from 2006 to 2020. Logistic regression analyses were applied to calculate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs.
resultsApproximately 37% of individuals with previous depression and/or anxiety were not on SA during follow-up, compared with 54% of those without such history. Lower use of antidepressants implied higher odds for no SA among both private (OR: 2.09; 95% CI, 1.64-2.66) and public (OR: 2.38; 95% CI, 1.78-3.19) employees with previous depression and/or anxiety. Having fewer visits to outpatient health care was significantly associated with no SA (ORs: 2.22-3.60). Being a white-collar worker implied higher odds for no SA only among those privately employed (OR: 1.39; 95% CI, 1.10-1.76).
conclusionsPrimarily, health-related factors seemed to play a role in no SA among young employees with previous depression and/or anxiety.
