Association of long working hours and health-related productivity loss, and its differential impact by income level: A cross-sectional study of the Korean workers.
Article in Journal of occupational health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesWe aimed to explore the association between long working hours and health-related productivity loss (HRPL), due to either sickness, absenteeism or presenteeism, stratified by household income level.
methodsFrom January 2020 to February 2020, data were collected using a web-based questionnaire. A total of 4197 participants were randomly selected using the convenience sampling method. The nonparametric association between weekly working hours and HRPL was determined. Subsequently, a stratified analysis was conducted according to household income (1st, 2nd, and 3rd tertiles). Finally, the differences in HRPL of the different working hour groups (<40, 40, 40-51, and ≥52 hours) were investigated using a multivariate linear regression model.
resultsLong working hours were more significantly associated with HRPL, as compared to the 'standard' working hours (40 hours/week). A larger proportion of productivity loss was associated with the presenteeism of workers, rather than absenteeism. The relationship between HRPL and weekly working hours was more prominent in the lower household income group.
conclusionsThe results of our study indicate that HRPL is associated with long working hours, especially in the lower household income group. Reducing the workload for the individual employee to a manageable level and restructuring sick leave policies to effectively counteract absenteeism and presenteeism may be a feasible option for better labor productivity and employee health.
