[On the Effectiveness of Digital Workplace Health Promotion in Times of Home Office: A Systematic Review].
Synthesis in Gesundheitswesen (Bundesverband der Arzte des Offentlichen Gesundheitsdienstes (Germany)), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundIn the face of an increasingly aging, multimorbid, chronically ill workforce, company health promotion (BGF) is an important instrument for promoting and maintaining the health of employees in the workplace. Due to digitization and the increasing possibilities of working from home, digital offers for workplace health promotion (dBGF) are being used increasingly in organizations. The portfolio of offers ranges from fitness trackers, online platforms, and health apps to so-called wearables, so that a broad, individual selection is possible for both organizations and employees. THE AIM OF THE STUDY: The aim of the study was to identify and analyze randomized controlled trials (RCT) with regard to the health-promoting effectiveness of dBGF. MATERIAL AND
methodsA systematic literature search was carried out in relevant specialist databases (PubMed, Livivo, Cochrane Library). The identified studies were selected, evaluated and then descriptively presented by several people systematically and independently.
results17 relevant contributions could be identified and analyzed. Above all, measures to promote physical activity and programs to improve mental health were identified in the RCT studies that were carried out. The results of the studies carried out indicate that dBGF can promote health in a variety of ways and support organizations in providing a health-promoting working environment. DISCUSSION: The effectiveness of dBGF could be proven on the basis of the studies identified, whereby the effects are undoubtedly influenced and determined by the employees, above all by their health competence. In order to ensure the long-term effectiveness of dBGF, it will be necessary in the future to increase the interest and motivation of employees with regard to personal health promotion and illness prevention.
