The influence of workplace stressors on the risk of cardiovascular diseases among healthcare providers: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of death worldwide. Healthcare workers are at increased risk due to workplace stressors such as long hours, shift work, and high job demands, which may worsen both modifiable and non-modifiable CVD risk factors. This systematic review examines the impact of these workplace stressors on the risk for CVD among healthcare providers. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of observational studies from inception to January 2024, following PRISMA guidelines. We searched databases including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycINFO using keywords related to workplace stressors and CVDs among healthcare professionals. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Results: Our review included 31 observational studies (15 cohort studies, 13 cross-sectional studies, and three case-control studies) with a total of 323,978 participants from 17 countries. The key stressors identified were long working hours, night shifts, and high job strain. Most studies reported significant associations between these stressors and increased risks of hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and cardiometabolic disorders. The quality of the studies ranged from fair to good, indicating a low risk of bias. Conclusion: Growing evidence suggests a strong correlation between workplace stressors and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease among healthcare workers. This leads to negative consequences that affect their performance and may extend to the quality of their patients' care. Addressing these stressors through targeted interventions is crucial for protecting their health and improving patient care outcomes.
