Effort-reward imbalance, cortisol secretion, and inflammatory activity in police officers with 24-h work shifts.
Article in International archives of occupational and environmental health, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposeAccumulating evidence shows that effort-reward imbalance (ERI) at work can cause various health problems. However, few studies have investigated the biological pathways linking ERI and health outcomes, and their findings have been inconsistent. In this study, we investigated the associations between ERI, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis, and inflammation in a sample of police officers.
methodsOne hundred forty-two male police officers that were engaged in a working system of 24-h shifts were followed up during the work shift as well as during the two subsequent work-free days. Throughout this period, the participants provided two saliva samples each day for the 3-day period, and we measured the concentrations of cortisol and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the saliva. The police officers also completed the Japanese short version of the Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire.
resultsThe results of linear mixed model analyses controlled for possible confounding variables indicated that higher effort scores (p = 0.031) as well as effort-reward ratio (p = 0.080) were associated with lower cortisol levels, and the effect of effort was strengthened in the younger police officers (p = 0.017). Furthermore, higher effort scores were associated with higher CRP levels in younger police officers (p = 0.037).
conclusionsOur results indicate that effort, a component of ERI, has physiological effects in younger police officers, which possibly contribute to the development of stress-related diseases.
