Self-rated work ability predicts return to work after occupational rehabilitation.

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
Introduction: Work ability assessments are important for planning, targeting, and executing occupational rehabilitation programs. The aim of the study was to examine whether a one-item self-rated Work Ability Score (WAS), assessed before and after rehabilitation, predicts return to work 12 months after occupational rehabilitation. Methods: Data from four institutions in the Results: Higher WAS values were positively associated with full RTW. The odds ratio for a one-point increase in WAS at the start of rehabilitation was 1.57 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.41-1.75], and it was 1.47 (95% CI: 1.33-1.63) for a one-point increase in improvement of WAS from start to end of rehabilitation when controlling for age, sex, education, occupational status and benefits received before rehabilitation. Conclusion: Even a one-point increase in WAS significantly improved the odds of future work participation. Designing rehabilitation programs to target the workability of participants may initiate a process that leads to work participation.
