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

The aim of this work is to identify occupational situations that are at risk and/or encourage alcohol use, whatever the type of consumption. This is a review of the literature in search of articles published between 1989 and August 2019, dealing with the effects of work situations on alcohol consumption. A qualitative analysis was conducted on the articles meeting the selection criteria, and the data were summarised based on the main risk factors identified. There is some evidence supporting work organisation as being at risk of alcohol consumption. This concerns mainly shift work and long-working hours, although the relation with drinking behaviours seems to be conflicting. Social relations and interactions within the workplace may induce (or be at risk of) alcohol consumption, particularly in the case of tolerant standards. The results regarding work stress are contradictory. Data regarding physical workload are scarce. Most studies addressed alcohol consumption as a public health issue, in the labour force, and not as an occupational health issue focused on work situations and conditions. Yet this knowledge may help the occupational physician to question the work environment, in order to prevent this risk on a collective technical level and on an individual case-by-case basis.
