Modifying effect of cigarette smoking on the association of organizational justice with serious psychological distress in Japanese employees: a cross-sectional study.

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
purposeWe examined the modifying effect of cigarette smoking (i.e., smokers vs. non-smokers) on the association of organizational justice (i.e., procedural justice and interactional justice) with serious psychological distress (SPD) in Japanese employees.
methodsOverall, 2838 participants from two factories of a manufacturing company in Japan completed a self-administered questionnaire comprising the scales on organizational justice (Organizational Justice Questionnaire), smoking status, psychological distress (K6 scale), demographic and occupational characteristics (i.e., gender, age, education, family size, history of depression, chronic physical conditions, occupation, and work form), and other health-related behaviors (i.e., drinking habit and physical activity). Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted. In a series of analyses, interaction term of procedural justice or interactional justice with smoking status was included in the model.
resultsAfter adjusting for demographic and occupational characteristics as well as other health-related behaviors, low procedural justice and low interactional justice were significantly associated with SPD (defined as K6 ≥ 13). Furthermore, marginally significant interaction effect of procedural justice with smoking status was observed. Specifically, the association of low procedural justice with SPD was greater among smokers [prevalence odds ratio 7.13 (95 % confidence interval 3.25-15.7) for low vs. high procedural justice subgroup] than among non-smokers [prevalence odds ratio 2.34 (95 % confidence interval 1.52-3.60) for low vs. high procedural justice subgroup]. On the other hand, interaction effect of interactional justice with smoking status was not significant.
conclusionsCigarette smoking seems to have a harmful effect on the association of the lack of procedural justice with SPD in Japanese employees.
