Survey of Smokers Among Workers at One Facility: A Cross-sectional Study With Propensity Score Matching.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimSmoking has been reported to be a risk factor for a variety of diseases. In Japan, the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire (BJSQ) has been administered by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare since December 2015, but few reports have focused on its relationship with smoking. We investigated the current situation of smokers among staff of Kagoshima University who underwent a medical check-up. PATIENTS AND
methodsOf 2,478 people who underwent a medical check-up in May and June 2021, we targeted 2,237 workers who reported whether they smoked. We examined results of the medical check-up and BJSQ and the background of smokers (n=139, 6.2%). We compared smokers and non-smokers (n=2,098) using propensity score matching (PSM) for sex, age, drinking habits, medication for dyslipidaemia, and overtime working hours at a 1:1 ratio.
resultsThe results showed that white blood cell count (p=0.044), platelet count (p<0.001), glutamyl transferase (p=0.023), and triglyceride (p=0.027) were significantly higher among current smokers in comparison with current non-smokers. Smokers reported significantly more stress than non-smokers in terms of social support (p=0.027).
conclusionAs a result of PSM, several blood test items related to non-communicable diseases (lifestyle-related diseases) showed high values in current smokers, and these individuals reported significantly more stress than non-smokers. According to the emphasis on group analysis in the Total Health Promotion Plan revised in 2020, our findings can be helpful in enhancing smoking cessation programs in the workplace.
