Results of a Randomized Trial on an Intervention Promoting Adoption of Occupational Sun Protection Policies.
Trial report in American journal of health promotion : AJHP, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo evaluate an intervention promoting adoption of occupational sun protection policies by employers in a randomized trial.
designA randomized pretest-posttest controlled design with 2-year follow-up was conducted in 2010 to 2013.
settingLocal government organizations in Colorado who had outdoor workers in public works, public safety, and/or parks and recreation.
participantsNinety-eight local government organizations (n = 51 municipalities, 10 counties, and 37 special districts).
interventionOrganizations were randomly assigned to receive a policy and education intervention comprised of personal contacts and theory-based training and materials or to an attention control group. MEASURES: Occupational policy documents were coded for sun safety content by a trained research assistant blind to condition. ANALYSIS: Policy scores were analyzed with logistic and Poisson regression models using imputation.
resultsAt posttest, more organizations in the intervention group had a sun protection policy than in the control group (odds ratio [OR] = 4.91, P < .05; intent to treat: OR = 5.95, P < .05) and policies were more extensive (χ
conclusionThe intervention had a large effect on adoption of formal sun protection policies, perhaps because of its fit with legal requirements to maintain safe workplaces. Personal contacts with managers were influential on adoption of occupational policy even in this age of communication technology and social media.
