The relationship between shift work, sleep, and work hours on wellbeing.
Article in Industrial health, 2025. 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
We investigated the role of sleep and work hours on wellbeing among day- and shift workers. We tested a mediation-moderation hypothesis proposing that; 1) sleep would mediate the association between the work schedule and the impact of sleep/sleepiness on wellbeing; 2) work hours would moderate the link between work schedule and sleep. We made random phone calls to 1,162 participants and identified 172-d and 130 shift workers that worked ≥35 h/week. The work schedule had a positive indirect effect on the impact of sleep/sleepiness via sleep duration (β=0.0511, SE=0.0309, [0.0008, 0.3219]. The relationship between shift work and sleep duration was negative (β=-0.35, SE=0.14, p<0.01), and sleep duration was negatively associated with a greater impact of sleep/sleepiness on wellbeing (β=-0.15, SE=0.06, p<0.02). The path between the work schedule and sleep duration was moderated by work hours; fewer work hours resulted in shift workers reporting a greater impact of sleep/sleepiness on wellbeing. The results support the mediation-moderation hypothesis. Work hours and sleep duration are key characteristics in work schedule design.
