Social ties, employment and mental health in people with disabilities in Korea: evidence from a 2016-2018 panel survey.
Article in International health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundSocial connectedness is a critical factor influencing health outcomes, particularly among people with disabilities, who face increased risks of social isolation and poor mental health. This study aimed to examine the effects of interpersonal relationships on subjective health and mental health among individuals with disabilities.
methodsWe analysed nationally representative panel data of economically active individuals with disabilities in South Korea. Generalized estimating equation models were applied to assess the associations between interpersonal relationship scores and health outcomes, adjusting for sociodemographic and behavioural factors.
resultsCompared with participants with the highest interpersonal relationship scores (≥25 points), those with the lowest scores (≤14 points) had significantly higher odds of reporting poor subjective health (odds ratio [OR] 1.986 [95% confidence interval {CI} 1.392 to 2.832], p<0.0001), lower happiness (-0.913 points [95% CI 0.840 to 0.993], p=0.034) and greater odds of experiencing depression (OR 1.959 [95% CI 1.179 to 3.255], p=0.009).
conclusionsThese findings highlight the importance of social connectedness as a key determinant of mental and subjective health among people with disabilities in Korea.
