1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Psychological constructs related to health outcomes and well-being, such as metacognitive beliefs, have been linked to executive functions in general, and cognitive flexibility more specifically. However, such effects have previously only been discussed on a theoretical level and behavioral flexibility has most often been measured through self-report, only approximating information processing capacities. Objectively measured executive functions may be a more potent predictor of health outcomes. We set out to test whether cognitive flexibility capacity was associated with sick leave in a medium sized company. We included 111 subjects of widely different occupations and assessed their executive functions using Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System test battery (D-KEFS). To assess cognitive flexibility capacity, we included Design Fluency (DF) and Verbal Fluency (VF) and computed these into an index of cognitive flexibility (DFVF). Detailed information on sick leave for the last 5 years was gathered from the company. Our results showed that there was a significant negative correlation between DFVF and sick leave [r
