1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo evaluate effectiveness of a workplace educational intervention at improving health-related outcomes in carer-employees.

methodsA pre-post test design compared with health of a sample (n = 21) of carer-employees before (T1) and after (T2) a workplace intervention, as well as a final timepoint (T3) 12 months after T1. An aggregate health score was used to measure health and consisted three scales; depression (CES-D), psychosocial (CRA), and self-reported health (SF-12), where higher scores indicated higher frequency of adverse health symptoms. Three random-slope models were created via the linear mixed modeling method (LMM) to illustrate changes in reported health.

resultsAll three LMM models reported a reduction in participants' health score, particularly between T1 and T2, indicating a decrease in reported adverse health symptoms.

conclusionThe intervention was successful in improving the health of carer-employees.
