The background and current state of implementing a legal system for stress checks in Japan.
Article in Industrial 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
This paper discusses the development process, outline, main design points, post-enactment operation, and related research trends based on my own experiences from the formulation of the stress check system. Additionally, it surveys related literature and is the first of its kind to discuss future developments from a legal point of view. The ultimate purpose of the stress check system is to stimulate concrete measures for workplace environment improvements. However, despite frequent group analysis, effective measures for improving the environment have been limited. In this paper, based on past studies, I argue that reduced stress and other effects can be observed in workplaces in which such measures have been implemented, providing qualitative outcomes for workers. In addition, basic data can and has been accumulated for subsequent policies and measures. I conclude that realizing human and organizational individuality as well as supporting growth and environmental adaptation are key to the implementation of effective mental health measures.
