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

contextOrganizational justice has been linked to lower risk of several chronic conditions among employees, but less is known about the long-term mechanisms underlying this risk reduction.

objectiveTo assess whether self-reported organizational justice is associated with individual and composite long-term metabolic trajectories.

designTwenty-five-year follow-up of the Whitehall II prospective cohort study.

settingMiddle-aged public servants from the United Kingdom.

participantsData on 8182 participants were used.

main outcome measuresLevels of 11 anthropometric, glycemic, lipid, and blood pressure biomarkers were measured at 5 timepoints (1991-2013). We used generalized estimating equations and group-based trajectory modeling to investigate the relationship between organizational justice and biomarker trajectories.

resultsHigh vs low organizational justice were associated with lower waist (-1.7 cm) and hip (-1 cm) circumference, body mass index (-0.6 kg/m2), triglycerides (-1.07 mmol/L), and fasting insulin (-1.08 µIU/mL) trajectories. Two latent metabolic trajectory clusters were identified: a high- and a low-risk cluster. High organizational justice (vs low) were associated with belonging to the low-risk cluster (pooled odds ratio = 1.47). The low-risk cluster demonstrated lower baseline levels of most biomarkers and better glycemic control, whereas the high-risk cluster showed higher baseline levels of most biomarkers, glycemic deterioration, but also greater improvements in lipid levels over time.

conclusionsPeople with high organizational justice had more favorable long-term cardiometabolic biomarker patterns than those with low organizational justice, indicating a potential mechanism contributing to the lower risk of chronic diseases in the first group. Further intervention studies are warranted to determine whether improvement of organizational justice might improve long-term health.
