Evaluating "The REST of Your Life," a Workplace Health Program to Improve Employee Sleep, Health, Energy, and Productivity.
Article in American journal of health promotion : AJHP, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeSleep is critical for employee health, well-being, and productivity. Our purpose is to evaluate a sleep-focused interactive workplace health promotion program.
designWe evaluate sleep and mental health before and after exposure to the program using a pre/post quasi-experimental pilot study design with surveys administered at baseline and 1-, 6-, and 12 months post-exposure (Phase 1). We design program evaluation surveys for dissemination when the program is offered broadly to hospital employees (Phase 2).
settingThe study was conducted at a large teaching hospital in the Southeast U.S. in 2016. SUBJECTS: Subjects were full-time hospital employees.
interventionThe program was presented to subjects in one four-hour interactive session. MEASURES: In Phase 1 (n = 55), surveys included the validated Apnea Risk Evaluation System, Dysfunctional Beliefs About Sleep, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Patient Health Questionnaire. Phase 2 (n = 3935) utilized program evaluation surveys. ANALYSIS: We compare survey responses between pre- and post-program using a repeated measures analysis of variance with post-hoc tests.
resultsStatistically significant improvement in all sleep and mental health domains was demonstrated. In Phase 2, 81.9% reported "strongly agree" to willingness to recommend the program to co-workers.
conclusionWe demonstrate improvement in employee sleep and mental health after exposure to a novel workplace health promotion program to improve sleep.
