Universal alcohol prevention in the workplaces - does it matter?
Article in Work (Reading, Mass.), 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
BackgroundHarmful alcohol consumption has significant negative implications for the workplace. The workplace offers a strategic opportunity for alcohol prevention due to the substantial time employees spend at work.ObjectiveUtilizing a social-ecological framework, this study aims to investigate whether universal alcohol prevention strategies in the workplace are associated with employees' alcohol-related perceptions or behaviorsMethodsA cross-sectional survey study was conducted in December 2019 using a web-based questionnaire distributed through the Laboratory of Opinion Research Citizen Panel. Participants included 2771 employed adults aged 16-80 in Sweden. Multiple- and logistic regressions were used to investigate significant explanatory factors.ResultsHaving alcohol procedures, as well as having received information from a supervisor regarding how to act on concerns, were associated with a higher probability of being comfortable informing a supervisor of concerns. A restrictive alcohol culture was associated with lower threshold for perceived risk-free alcohol consumption. Having an alcohol policy only was not associated with any of the examined alcohol-related perceptions or behaviors when controlling for other factors.ConclusionsAlcohol preventive measures can significantly influence employee perceptions of responsibility to act on concerns, and the feeling of being comfortable doing so. The findings support the integration of alcohol preventive measures at multiple levels within the workplace, as well as having a restrictive alcohol culture.
