Organizational health culture in the Korean firefighter intervention studies: a scoping review.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: This study examines the current state of intervention studies focused on Korean firefighters, who face unique health challenges due to the demands of their work and specific organizational culture. Recognizing a gap in studies tailored to firefighters' needs, this scoping review aimed to identify existing interventions and provide recommendations for future research. Methods: Following the Joanna Briggs Institute's methodological guidelines for scoping reviews and the PRISMA-ScR checklist, a seven-stage review was conducted. The search included articles from Korean and international journals published up until January 25, 2024. Data were analyzed using a pre-developed framework and the Template for Intervention Description and Replication checklist. This study was registered on the Open Science Framework (OSF) and is accessible at https://osf.io/s378j/. Results: From 35 articles analyzed, results showed an imbalance in topics, research design, outcome measures, and intervention delivery methods. Additionally, most studies lacked specific focus on firefighters' unique organizational characteristics and needs. Discussion: The study highlighted three areas for enhancing intervention research quality: designing and tailoring studies to fit the specific demands of firefighting, ensuring ethical considerations, and aligning with the practical needs of firefighters. Future research should prioritize diverse interventions addressing firefighters' health, incorporate sensitive and ethical research designs, and work closely with experts in firefighting to develop adaptable and relevant interventions.
