Cross-sectional survey on self-reported health of ambulance personnel.
Article in Scandinavian journal of trauma, resuscitation and emergency medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThe high job stress among ambulance personnel is a widely known phenomenon. PURPOSE: to asses the self reported health status of ambulance workers.
methodsAn anonym self-fill-in questionnaire applying SF-36 was used among workers from the northern and western regions of Hungarian National Ambulance Service.
resultsBased on the dimensions of the SF-36 questionnaire the respondents considered their "Physical Functioning" the best, while "Vitality" was regarded the worst. The more time an employee have been worked at the HNAS the worse his health was in the first four dimensions like, "Physical Functioning", "Role-Physical", "Bodily Pain", "General Health": p < 0.001. Those working in secondary part-time jobs considered their health in all dimensions worse. The respondents who did some kind of sports hold their health in all dimensions better (p < 0.001). The workers with higher BMI regarded their health status worse, in four dimensions: "Physical Functioning": p = 0.001; "Role-Physical": p = 0.013; "General Health": p < 0.001; "Role-Emotional": p = 0.05.
conclusionsThe workers health status proved to be insufficient according to the subjective perception and measurable parameters. According to the subjective perception of health and measurable parameters of health status of workers proved to be insufficient. Poor physical health can lead indirectly to psychological problems, which may lower the quality of the work and can lead to high turn-over.
