Irregular work schedule and sleep disturbance in occupational drivers-A nationwide cross-sectional study.
Article in PloS one, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between irregular work schedules and sleep disturbance and compare the impacts of work schedule on sleep disturbance between occupational drivers and office workers.
methodsUsing data from the 3rd and 4th Korean Working Conditions Survey, 3,070 occupational drivers and 9,898 office workers were included in this study. The subjects' days of night work, evening work, and subjective complaints of sleep disturbance were investigated along with other covariates.
resultsIn the multivariate logistic regression analyses, occupational drivers (odds ratio [OR], 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.51, 1.11-2.05), workers who were engaged in more night work (2.49, 1.84-3.38 for 1-15 days, and 3.80, 2.67-5.41 for 16-30 days) and evening work (2.22, 1.66-2.97 for 1-15 days, and 1.76, 1.26-2.45) were more likely to report sleep disturbance. Moreover, occupational driving showed significant interaction effects with both night and evening work on sleep disturbance, and therefore, showed higher ORs for sleep disturbance in the 16-30 days night (5.38, 3.40-8.52) and evening (3.13, 1.97-4.98) compared to no night and evening working office workers.
conclusionsOccupational drivers who are exposed to night work and evening work are at higher risks for sleep disturbance. Therefore, for the public and drivers' safety, optimal work schedules for minimising sleep disturbance should be developed.
