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.

Abstract

The intersectoral workplace intervention "health in work" (HIW), developed by the Norwegian healthcare service and labour and welfare administration, targets common musculoskeletal and mental health conditions by addressing both health and work environment factors. This study assessed the effectiveness of HIW on workers' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and subjective wellbeing (SWB) compared to standard inclusive work measures (IWM). A pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial including 97 workplaces, randomized to either the HIW or IWM intervention over 12 months. HRQoL was measured using the EQ-5D-5L and the EQ-VAS, and SWB by using the satisfaction with life scale and a question on meaningful life. Measurements were taken at baseline, post-intervention period, and at a 12-month follow-up. EQ-5D-5L data were analysed using mixed-effects generalized linear models. No statistically significant difference-in-difference in HRQoL or SWB were found between the HIW and IWM groups at any time point. Participants in both groups reported high baseline levels of HRQoL and SWB. Although HIW did not yield significant improvements or detriments in HRQoL or SWB, this study contributes to addressing the knowledge gap regarding intersectoral collaboration in enhancing work and health. Further research is needed to assess broader outcomes such as healthcare utilisation and sick leave.Trial registration: The trial was prospectively registered with ClinicalTrials.gov on June 24, 2019, under the identifier NCT04000035.
