Applying Aspects of Disability Determination Methods from the Netherlands in the United States.
Article in Social security bulletin, 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
In contrast to disability determination in the U.S., the Netherlands uses a unique, direct method of measuring an applicant's residual work capacity following the onset of a health condition. Standardized measures of functional abilities are then directly linked to requirements of actual jobs in the Netherlands, allowing for direct computation of a set of feasible jobs and the resulting residual earnings capacity of an applicant, conditional on skills. This paper explains how work capacity is measured in the Netherlands, and then applies aspects of that method to estimate work capacity in a representative sample of American adults. We find that 11.8% of Americans ages 18-65 have an estimated earnings capacity below the Substantial Gainful Activity threshold. On average, compared to individuals with a BA, less-educated individuals have more functional limitations, have a smaller set of feasible occupations and lower estimated earnings capacity.
