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

backgroundScant attention has been paid to the quality of working life of social care workers in Ireland. This study sought to characterise both the quality of working life and the well-being of social care workers in the disability sector.

methodA cross-sectional survey of social care workers (n = 307) was conducted. Measures of work-related quality of life, well-being, organisational constraints, workload and turnover intention were included in the survey.

resultsExperiencing higher organisational constraints, longer work hours and higher workload were related to lower quality of working life, F(9,242) = 24.953, p < 0.001. Higher organisational constraints and higher workload also negatively influenced well-being, F(9,240) = 11.494, p < 0.001. Linear regression indicated that higher turnover intention was influenced by lower quality of working life, F(1, 279) = 306.319, p < 0.001.

conclusionsThe results indicate the importance of the influence of work-related factors on both quality of working life and well-being in social care workers in disability services in Ireland.
