Trajectories of working hours in later careers and their association with social and health-related factors: a follow-up study.
Article in European journal of public health, 2022. 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
backgroundThe aim was to identify working hours' trajectories in later work careers over a follow-up of 15-17 years and to examine their association with social factors and health.
methodsA subsample from the Helsinki Health Study was extracted comprising employees of the City of Helsinki, Finland. Growth mixture modelling was used to identify different working hour trajectories. Age, gender, occupational class, marital status, health behaviour, physical and mental functioning and current pain were associated with trajectory membership. Relative risks (RRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated.
resultsA two-trajectory model was selected: 'Stable regular working hours' (90%) and 'Shorter and varying working hours' (10%). Women (RR 1.40, 95% CI 1.09-1.78), the oldest employees (RR 2.71, 95% CI 2.06-3.57), managers and professionals (RR 1.56, 95% CI 1.20-2.02), those reporting non-drinker (RR 1.66, 95% CI 1.32-2.10), those reporting sleeping more than 8 h per night (RR 1.74 95% CI 1.25-2.42) and those reporting poor mental functioning (RR 1.39 95% CI 1.15-1.68) had higher likelihood of belonging to the trajectory 'Shorter and varying working hours'. There were no differences between the trajectories in marital status, smoking, body mass index, current pain or physical functioning. However, routine non-manual workers (RR 0.74, 95% CI 0.55-0.98), and semi-professionals (RR 0.70, 95% CI 0.50-0.96) had lower likelihood of belonging to this trajectory.
conclusionsTrajectories of working hours in later work career differ by age, gender and occupational class but also by health behaviours and mental health functioning.
