Do Gender and Chronic or Episodic Disability Type Moderate the Relationship Between Support Availability, Perceived Workplace Support Towards Disclosure and Job Disruptions?
Article in Journal of occupational rehabilitation, 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
purposeWhilst absenteeism and presenteeism amongst workers with chronic and episodic disabling conditions are well-studied, less is known about broader job disruptions and their links to gender, disability type, support availability, and perceived workplace support towards disclosure. This study examined the prevalence of job disruptions and their association with support availability and support of disclosure, and whether these relationships differ by gender and disability type.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted in June-July 2022 with 730 employed Canadians living with chronic or episodic conditions causing work limitations. Relationships between support availability, perceived workplace support towards disability disclosure and six types of job disruptions (i.e. work impacts such as interruptions, distractions, and other barriers that create difficulties with work activities and participation) were analyzed using chi-square tests and adjusted logistic regression. Gender (men/women) and disability type (physical, mental/cognitive, both) were tested as moderators.
resultsShort-term job disruptions were common, especially amongst workers with both physical and mental/cognitive conditions. Greater support availability was associated with fewer long-term disruptions but more missed meetings. Negative or ambivalent perception of workplace support towards disability disclosure was associated with higher odds of long-term disruptions. Low support availability exacerbated job disruption disparities between disability types. There was no evidence of moderation by gender.
conclusionSupport availability and a positive, inclusive workplace with support towards disability disclosure are important factors influencing long-term job disruptions. The findings of this study suggest that tailored supports for those with complex and co-occurring, disabilities and efforts to improve perceptions of the workplace's support towards disability disclosure are important to promote sustained work participation for people with chronic or episodic conditions causing limitations.
