Lunch breaks as a buffer: mitigating the negative effects of road traffic noise on urban employee workplace behavior.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: The impact of road traffic noise annoyance on individual health is well-documented in environmental and health studies. However, less attention has been given to its negative effects on employees' work behaviors and effective mitigation strategies. Methods: Drawing on conservation of resources theory and general strain theory, this research conducted a three-wave survey involving 816 urban employees from 304 Chinese cities. Results: The results revealed a significant positive correlation between residential road traffic noise annoyance and employees' mental health complaints, work withdrawal, and workplace aggressive behaviors. Mental health complaints were confirmed to fully and partially mediate the relationship between noise annoyance and work withdrawal and workplace aggressive behaviors, respectively. The organizational lunch break environment negatively moderates the link between residential road traffic noise annoyance and mental health complaints. Discussion: These findings underscore the importance of addressing noise annoyance to enhance both employee welfare and organizational efficacy.
