Longitudinal Associations Between Core Health Domains, Assessed Using the PROMIS-29, and Work Ability in a Working Population: Findings from the Lifelines Cohort Study.
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
objectiveTo investigate the longitudinal relationship between core health domains, assessed with the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-2)9, and work ability, and explore how this relationship differs for physical and mental work ability.
methodsData representing 22,608 workers were obtained from two waves of the Lifelines Cohort Study, a large population-based cohort in the Netherlands. Eight health domains, assessed at baseline using PROMIS-29 v2.1, were analyzed in relation to work ability, assessed at follow-up with single WAI items. Ordinal logistic regression analysis was used to model these relationships, adjusting for age, BMI, leisure-time physical activity, and follow-up time, and evaluating effect modification by gender.
resultsAll PROMIS health domains were significantly associated with work ability at 4.6 years follow-up. Health domains reflecting worse health, e.g., fatigue, showed an inverse association with work ability (OR: 0.75, CI: 0.72-0.78), whereas domains reflecting better health, e.g., ability to participate in social roles and activities, showed positive associations (OR: 1.28, CI: 1.23-1.34). Some health domains, like physical function (OR: 1,35 CI: 1.26-1.45) and pain interference (OR: 0.84, CI: 0.78-0.91) were associated with physical work ability only, whereas anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, ability to participate in social roles and activities, and pain intensity were associated with both physical and mental work ability.
conclusionHealth domains, assessed using the PROMIS-29, are longitudinally associated with general, physical and mental work ability. PROMIS-29 might be used to identify workers at risk of reduced work ability and potential sickness absence. Further research is needed to verify this and should directly examine the relationship between PROMIS-29 scores and objective sickness absence rates.
