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

backgroundIncreasing intergenerational coexistence in the job market may heighten the risk of intergenerational conflicts, which can negatively impact the inclusion and healthy participation of older workers. The foodservice sector is characterized by significant intergenerational coexistence, reinforced by the presence of student workers. According to the literature, practices promoting intergenerational cooperation can reduce the risk of conflict and contribute to a healthier work climate.

objectiveThe main objective of this research project is to propose a prioritized list of intergenerational cooperation practices to promote the inclusion and healthy participation of older workers in the foodservice sector.

methodsThis project will be carried out in 2 stages. The first stage will use a descriptive interpretative design based on the photo-elicitation method to identify intergenerational cooperation practices from the perspective of older workers. The second stage will use the Technique for Research of Information by Animation of a Group of Experts method to obtain a group consensus among professionals, managers, and researchers to prioritize the identified practices.

resultsThe first stage of this project is underway. The study has been funded by the Quebec Network for Research on Aging since September 2024. Participant recruitment began at the end of January 2025, following ethics committee approval, and ended in May 2025. In total, 12 participants were recruited for stage 1. The data collected are currently being analyzed, and the results are scheduled to be submitted for publication in 2026.

conclusionsOn a theoretical level, this project will propose a list of practices promoting intergenerational cooperation at work in the foodservice sector, giving a voice to older workers to better understand their perspectives. This project will also offer a prioritization of those practices, based on the perspective of different actors (researchers, professionals, and managers of the foodservice sector). On a practical level, this knowledge will help the actors of the foodservice sector to integrate these practices into their organizations to promote the inclusion and healthy participation of older workers.
