Perceived stress and sickness absence: a prospective study of 17,795 employees in Denmark.

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
objectivesThe aims were to examine (1) the prospective association between perceived stress and sickness absence, and if this association (2) differed by sex, and (3) was stronger when only long-term sickness absence (≥ 31 days) instead of all-length sickness absence (≥ 1 day) was included. Moreover, different cut-points for the length of the sickness absence periods were applied.
methodsWe followed respondents (10,634 women and 7161 men) from the 'Work Environment and Health in Denmark' 2014-survey for up to 18 months in the 'Register of Work Absences' from Statistics Denmark. Perceived stress was measured by a single question: "In the last 2 weeks, how often have you felt stressed?" We used Cox-regression with repeated events, adjusted for age, sector, education, and previous sickness absence.
resultsThe hazard ratio (HR) for all-length sickness absence (≥ 1 day) for "Often/Always" stress compared to "Seldom/Never" stress was statistically significant among both men (HR = 1.25 [1.13-1.38]) and women (HR = 1.43 [1.34-1.51]). The HR was statistically significant for women (HR = 2.26 [1.89-2.70]), but not for men (HR = 1.22 [0.86-1.73]), when the analyses were restricted to long-term sickness absence (≥ 31 days). The sex-difference was statistically significant. Additional analyses with cut-points at ≥ 2, ≥ 4, ≥ 6, ≥ 8, ≥ 11, ≥ 15, ≥ 20, and ≥ 25 sickness absence days showed that among women, the HR increased gradually with increasing lengths of the sickness absence periods.
conclusionsThe prospective association of perceived stress with risk of sickness absence was stronger among women than men. Among women, perceived stress was more strongly associated with long-term sickness absence than with all-length sickness absence.
