Changes in Work Impairment and Associated Cost Savings Among Employees Receiving Psychotherapy: Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of occupational and environmental medicine, 2025. 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
objectiveThe aim of the study was to examine changes in work impairment and associated cost savings among employees receiving psychotherapy through an employer-sponsored benefit.
methodsA retrospective analysis evaluated changes in work impairment and lost productive time among N = 5450 adults receiving psychotherapy. Per employee per year (PEPY) cost savings due to gains in productive time were estimated using a range of salary benchmarks.
resultsEmployees experienced significant reductions in work impairment ( b = -2.88, 95% confidence interval [-3.01, -2.75]) and lost productive time ( b = -4.00, 95% confidence interval [-4.25, -3.74]). Based on the median US salary, improvements corresponded to an average cost savings of $4806 PEPY. Cost savings increased with increasing baseline work impairment severity (very severe: $20,882 PEPY at the median US salary).
conclusionsEmployees receiving evidence-based psychotherapy experience meaningful reductions in work impairment, which are associated with employer cost savings due to productive time gains.
