Beliefs About Working with Health Problems and Support at Work as Predictors of Sick Leave at Post-treatment and at Follow-Up: Secondary Analyses of a Randomised Controlled Trial with Registry Data.
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
purposeThis study investigates the predictive value of the newly identified factors Beliefs about working with health problems and Support at work for patients on sick leave due to common mental disorders. The aim was to explore the validity of the two factors in a new sample, investigating the factor structure, reliability and construct validity. Further the predictive value was assessed from pre-to post-treatment and at 6- and 12-months follow-up using sick leave data from national registries.
methodsThe study had a longitudinal design conducting secondary analyses with data from a randomised controlled trial (N = 236). The patients filled out self-report questionnaires and sick leave data were collected from national registries.
resultsThe principal component factor analysis identified the two factors, Beliefs about working with health problems and Support at work, with strong internal consistency α = 0.79 and 0.85 respectively. At pre-to post-treatment both factors separately predicted number of days on sick leave. Beliefs about working with health problems also predicted number of days on sick leave from post-treatment to 6- and 12-months follow-up.
conclusionThese findings highlight key predictors for return to work. Beliefs about working with health problems is especially important, predicting up to 12-months post-treatment. These factors can easily be assessed and addressed in therapy and increased focus may help more patients return to work.
