Long-term health- and cost evaluation of two work-oriented rehabilitation models for women on long-term work disability due to common mental disorders or chronic pain - a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03343457 (A Randomized Intervention and Coordination Program Aiming at Return To Work for Women With Long Term Sick Leave), 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
backgroundLong-term outcomes of work rehabilitation for individuals on extended sick leave due to common mental disorders or chronic musculoskeletal pain remain insufficiently studied. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the long-term effects on work disability and cost-effectiveness over eight years, and health outcomes over ten years, comparing (1) unimodal Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and (2) multidisciplinary assessment and treatment program including ACT (TEAM) with standard care (Control).
methodsWork disability days were analysed using ordered beta regression, and health outcomes were assessed using mixed models for repeated measures. Results are presented as estimated marginal means.
resultsBoth intervention groups demonstrated lower model-predicted median work disability days at all time points compared to Control, but the differences were only statistically significant for the TEAM group at years four, seven, and eight. Both ACT and TEAM interventions showed superior effects on psychiatric symptom reduction relative to Control at one- and two-years follow-up.
conclusionThe findings highlight the importance of extended follow-up to fully capture the effects of rehabilitation efforts. The results support the consideration of both rehabilitation models for women with prolonged work disability, with the choice between them potentially guided by available resources, individual patient complexity, and a stepwise approach to care.
trial registrationThe study was retrospectively registered at the Clinicaltrials.gov Register Platform on November 15, 2017 (ID NCT03343457).
