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.

2 · The registry

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 AND

objectiveAdverse working conditions contribute to obesity and physical inactivity. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations of occupational factors with obesity and leisure-time physical activity among nurses.

methodsThis study used cross-sectional data of 394 nurses (mean age 48 years, 91% females, 61% white) randomly selected from the California Board of Registered Nursing list. Data on demographic and employment characteristics, musculoskeletal symptom comorbidity, physical and psychosocial occupational factors, body mass index (BMI), and physical activity were collected using postal and on-line surveys from January to July in 2013.

resultsOf the participants, 31% were overweight and 18% were obese; 41% engaged in regular aerobic physical activity (≥ 150 min/week) and 57% performed regular muscle-strengthening activity (≥ 2 days/week). In multivariable logistic regression models, overweight/obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m(2)) was significantly more common among nurse managers/supervisors (OR=2.54, 95% CI: 1.16-5.59) and nurses who worked full-time (OR=2.18, 95% CI: 1.29-3.70) or worked ≥ 40 h per week (OR=2.53, 95% CI: 1.58-4.05). Regular aerobic physical activity was significantly associated with high job demand (OR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.06-2.51). Nurses with passive jobs (low job demand combined with low job control) were significantly less likely to perform aerobic physical activity (OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.26-0.93). Regular muscle-strengthening physical activity was significantly less common among nurses working on non-day shifts (OR=0.55, 95% CI: 0.34-0.89). Physical workload was not associated with obesity and physical activity.

conclusionsOur study findings suggest that occupational factors significantly contribute to obesity and physical inactivity among nurses. Occupational characteristics in the work environment should be considered in designing effective workplace health promotion programs targeting physical activity and obesity among nurses.
