Association of health-related quality of life with health examination including organic functions and lifestyles in Japanese employees.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to compare the association of each item of a health examination including organic functions and lifestyles with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) by gender.
methodsA cross-sectional survey by a self-administered questionnaire using the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) was conducted for Japanese employees from October 1999 to September 2000. Participants in this study consisted of 458 men and 321 women systematically selected from the health examinees. MAIN
resultsThe determination of organic functions including 'body mass index', 'blood pressure', 'liver functioning', and 'blood sugar control' was hardly associated with HRQoL, except for the body mass index in women. All the lifestyle items including smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, eating breakfast, doing exercise, adhering to bedtime, and working overtime were associated with HRQoL in the multiple regression models. In the mental component summary (MCS), the standardized regression coefficient of 'hours of overtime' was -0.235 in the men and -0.212 in the women (p < 0.001). In the physical component summary (PCS), that of 'energy consumed in exercise' was 0.149 in the women (p < 0.01).
conclusionThis study reveals that the association between lifestyle and HRQoL was stronger than that between organic function and HRQoL.
