Implementation of an Occupational Sun Safety Intervention: A Comparison of Two Scalability Strategies.
Trial report in Journal of occupational and environmental medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTwo methods for scaling up an evidence-based occupational sun protection program were compared.
methodsRegional districts ( n = 138) in 21 state Departments of Transportation throughout the United States were randomized to receive the Go Sun Smart at Work program via in-person or digital scalability methods in 2019-2022 in 1:2 ratio. Managers completed pretest and posttest surveys and employees completed posttest surveys. Because of the COVID pandemic, only posttest measures were analyzed ( n = 255 managers; n = 1387 employees).
resultsAfter scale-up, more employees reported training (b = 0.381, P = 0.021) and communication (b = 0.112, P = 0.049) at workplaces in in-person rather than digital strategy. There were no differences in managers' reports of sun protection training, communication, or actions by scalability method ( P > 0.05).
conclusionsOccupational sun protection was implemented during program scale up and employees recalled training/communication more in the in-person than digital strategy.
