Job stress prevalence in Iranian drivers and contributing factors: Systematic review and Meta-analysis.
Article in Discover mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundJob stress is a significant concern among drivers, particularly in Iran, where its prevalence varies by geographical region. This study aims to systematically review and analyze the prevalence of job stress among Iranian drivers and identify contributing factors.
methodsA systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive search strategy was implemented across multiple databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, SID, Magiran, and Google Scholar engine. Studies included were cross-sectional in nature, reporting on moderate to high job stress levels among Iranian drivers up to December 30, 2024. Quality assessment was performed using Mitton's checklist, and data were analyzed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software.
resultsOut of 320 articles screened, 11 studies met the inclusion criteria for meta-analysis. The overall prevalence of job stress among Iranian drivers was found to be 46.3% (95% CI: 30.3-63.1%). The highest prevalence was reported in North Khorasan province (87.9%), while the lowest was in Tehran (8.2%). Factors contributing to job stress included work shifts (31%) and noise exposure (23%), and working environment (23%). Meta-regression analysis indicated that sample size, average age, and work experience significantly influenced study heterogeneity (P < 0.05).
conclusionThis systematic review underscores the urgent need for policies aimed at reducing job stress among Iranian drivers, focusing on enhancing working conditions and providing mental health support to improve overall well-being and safety on the roads.
