Article in Journal of epidemiology and community health, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00005680 (Whitehall II - Social and Occupational Influences On Health and Illness), which is not on this map. Cited by 128 papers, 10 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

STUDY

objectivesTo investigate the association between job strain and components of the job strain model and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk.

designProspective cohort study (Whitehall II study). At the first phase of the study (1985-1988), data on self reported psychosocial work characteristics were collected from all participants. Participants were followed up until the end of phase 5 (1997-2000), with mean length of follow up of 11 years.

settingLondon based office staff in 20 civil service departments.

participants6,895 male and 3,413 female civil servants aged 35-55. OUTCOME MEASURES: Incident validated CHD. MAIN

resultsPeople with concurrent low decision latitude and high demands (job strain) were at the highest risk for CHD. High job demands, and, less consistently, low decision latitude, predicted CHD incidence. The effect of job strain on CHD incidence was strongest among younger workers, but there was no effect modification by social support at work, or employment grade.

conclusionsJob strain, high job demands, and, to some extent, low decision latitude, are associated with an increased risk of CHD among British civil servants.
