[Do digital technologies at work impact mental health of employees?]
Review in Der Nervenarzt, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundTraditional work stress research identified a large number of stressors; however, technology as a source of stress was not the focus of interest for long time.
objectiveThis article describes the concept of technostress and investigates the impact of digital technologies at work on mental health. MATERIAL AND
methodsNarrative review. Conceptualization of technostress, potential mechanisms of action and summary of empirical results on the influence on mental health.
resultsSeveral domains of technostress have been defined so far. Although empirical studies are rare and subject to methodological limitations, results suggest that certain types of technostress at work may have an adverse effect on mental health. Notably, digital technologies may also have a positive impact on the psychological well-being of employees if, for example, they enable better work organization.
conclusionThe digitalization of work is related to specific risks for the mental health of employees but also to possible benefits. Implications for further research in this developing field are identified.
