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

purposeOccupational health nurses (OHN) play a key role in identifying and managing work ability risks, as they have close interaction with employees and the customer organization, and they monitor work ability in multiple ways. The study aimed to describe OHNs' perceptions of work ability risk management and analysis (WARMA) and identify promoting and hindering factors.

methodsA descriptive qualitative study with semi-structured thematic interviews was conducted in May-June 2023, using purposive sampling of ten OHNs. The data were analyzed using both inductive and deductive approaches.

findingsOHNs perceived management and analysis of work ability risks as important work. The management and analysis of work ability risks was described as the central core work of occupational health care, which is carried out at the level of the customer organization and at the individual level. Factors promoting the management and analysis of work ability risks are electronic tools, time resources, occupational health cooperation, multi-professional cooperation, and personal experience. Factors hindering WARMA are insufficient time resources and productivity pressures.

conclusionOHNs' perceptions of WARMA varied. There are multiple factors that promote or hinder WARMA which require consideration at individual and organizational levels. The findings of this study provide a basis for further research that could focus on measuring OHNs' overall competence in WARMA.
