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

objectiveKnowledge of factors contributing to sustained work ability after stroke is limited. This study explored the association between perceived work ability and personal, stroke-related and work-related factors.

designCross-sectional study. SUBJECTS: Individuals working 1 year after stroke.

methodsA postal survey was completed by 88 individuals. The survey comprised questions on demographics, personal, stroke-related and work-related factors, and a set of validated questionnaires including the Work Ability Index (WAI). Data were analysed using logistic regression analyses with perceived overall work ability (WAI item 1) as the dependent variable (good or excellent vs poor or moderate work ability).

resultsGood or excellent work ability was perceived by 59% of the participants. In the final multivariable regression analyses, greater fatigue (OR 0.4; p < 0.001) and a poor work-life balance (OR 0.4; p < 0.005) were associated with lower odds for perceiving good or excellent work ability, whereas a higher monthly income (OR 5.8; p < 0.008) and greater mastery of work (OR 3.2; p < 0.007) were associated with higher odds.

conclusionBoth stroke-related and work-related factors were associated with perceived work ability among individuals working 1 year after stroke. This indicates that several aspects need to be addressed to accomplish a sustainable work situation after stroke.
