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

backgroundQuan is a workplace well-being digital platform that supports employees, teams, and organizations in measuring, understanding, and improving their well-being. It is important to develop a validated measurement instrument that enables users to assess and track their well-being over time. Currently, no digital measurement instrument comprehensively evaluates well-being across both personal and professional domains.

objectiveWe detail the development and validation of the Quan Well-being Index, a new digital self-report measure for assessing well-being in personal life and at the workplace.

methodsWe performed 3 studies. The first study involved the conceptualization of 6 initial factors, the generation of 51 items, and the steps of face and content validity. In the second study, revised items were presented to a UK sample. In the third study, an independent UK sample completed the final assessment along with a battery of well-being and personality questionnaires. A subsample of participants from the third study retook the assessment approximately 2 weeks after initial completion.

resultsIn the first study, after face and content validity processes, the number of items was reduced to 45. In the second study, exploratory factor analysis on data from 1020 participants (age: mean 43.06, SD 12.98 years; 525 female participants) identified a 4-factor solution with 35 items (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value=0.98; Bartlett test: χ

conclusionsThe Quan Well-being Index provides a comprehensive assessment of well-being at the workplace and in personal life, and is anticipated to be a valuable digital tool, enabling individuals, teams, and organizations to gain insights, monitor progress, and implement appropriate interventions for a healthier workforce.
