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

objectiveThis study investigates whether transit operators' risk perceptions of workplace exposure to drug use incidents, occupational stress, and job satisfaction were associated with intent to leave their job.

methodsA cross-sectional survey of operators from union locals (WA, OR) assessed perceived risk of drug exposures, occupational stress, job satisfaction, and intent to leave (N = 273). Ordinal logistic regression models were developed for intent to leave.

resultsMost operators were bus drivers. Higher perceived risk was significantly positively associated with greater intent to leave; stress and job satisfaction attenuated this relationship. Higher stress and lower job satisfaction were significantly associated with greater intent to leave across models.

conclusionsOperator turnover can potentially be reduced by increasing supports targeting risk perceptions of drugs, such as training, or by providing supports (eg, mental health resources) that reduce stress and improve job satisfaction.
