Workplace stress and prescription of antidepressant medications: a prospective study on a sample of Italian workers.
Article in International archives of occupational and environmental health, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06484582 (Investigation of Musculoskeletal System Disorders Seen in Automotive Industry Workers), which is not on this map.

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
purposeThe main aim of this study was to examine prospectively the relationship between antidepressant prescriptions (ADP), as a proxy of depressive symptoms, and work-related stress, measured according to the demand-control model.
methodsA cohort of 2,046 union workers who participated in a survey on working conditions and health in 1999-2000 was followed up to 2005, through the Regional Drug Prescription Register, for an ADP. The relative risks associated with demand, control and job strain were estimated using Poisson regression, adjusting for age, sex and other workplace factors (shift work, overtime, loud noise and psychological violence).
resultsIn final multivariable models, high demand significantly increased the risk of depressive symptoms among blue collars (RR = 1.82), whereas among white collars, it was significantly protective (RR = 0.38). No significant relationship was found for job control or strain in either occupational class.
conclusionsThe direct association observed elsewhere among blue collars between depressive symptoms and demand was confirmed, but not for job control or job strain. It cannot be ruled out that the association with demand was at least in part determined by reverse causation, due to exposure over-reporting among subjects with subclinical depressive symptoms at baseline. The protective effect of demand among white collars is not consistent with the literature and may be attributable to the particular characteristics of this sample, which included mainly workers employed in public administrative positions.
