1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To evaluate the association between rehabilitation services and employment among persons with physical disabilities in China, and to examine other disability types in secondary analyses. Using propensity score matching on data from a northwestern province, we provide empirical evidence to guide policy development. Design: Cross-sectional study using propensity score matching, logistic regression analysis, the chi-square test, and the Setting: Persons with disabilities in urban and rural areas of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China. Participants: A total of N=1870 persons with disabilities aged 16-60 years holding a disability certificate issued by the People's Republic of China. Interventions: This study employed propensity score matching to approximate a randomized controlled trial, designating persons with disabilities receiving rehabilitation services as the experimental group and those not receiving rehabilitation services as the control group. Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcomes were employment status and use of rehabilitation services among persons with disabilities, while demographic characteristics were secondary outcomes. Results: Rehabilitation services were positively associated with employment among persons with disabilities. Subgroup analyses by disability type revealed that this association was strongest among individuals with physical disabilities; those receiving rehabilitation services increased the employment rate by 8.8 percentage points (95% CI, 0.8-16.3; Conclusions: Rehabilitation services have a facilitating effect on the employment of persons with disabilities, which is regulated by the complexity of the nature of household registration, marital status, family structure, disability level, disability type and subjective health status.
