Evaluating a designed vocational rehabilitation program based on society ecosystems theory for young and middle-aged patients with coronary heart disease: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Frontiers in public health, 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
Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is increasingly affecting younger adults, but many face difficulties returning to work, exacerbating financial burdens. Although vocational rehabilitation may improve employment outcomes, evidence for Chinese CHD patients remains scarce. Therefore, the goal of this study is to improve the employment status of middle-aged and young patients with CHD by implementing vocational rehabilitation measures based on society ecosystems theory. Methods: The vocational rehabilitation program was developed in a multi-stage process. First, a preliminary draft was formulated based on a literature review, expert panels, and semi-structured interviews. Subsequently, this draft was refined and validated through a two-round Delphi expert consensus process. Following this, a pilot study was conducted to assess its feasibility. Finally, we evaluated the finalized program in a single-center randomized controlled trial, where 158 participants were equally randomized to receive either the 3-month intervention ( Results: Following the 3-month intervention, the vocational rehabilitation intervention significantly improved return-to-work rates compared to the control group (87.1% vs. 61.6%; Conclusion: Our findings indicate that ecosystem theory-based vocational rehabilitation can effectively enhance employment outcomes in young and middle-aged patients with CHD. Healthcare professionals should consider multidimensional factors when developing return-to-work interventions, with future efforts incorporating workplace-related considerations.
