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
Aim: Work-family conflict has been associated with depression, but it remains under-examined, particularly in population-representative studies. Furthermore, factors modifying this association have not been fully explored. This study investigates the associations of work-to-family conflict (WFC) and family-to-work conflict (FWC) with depressive symptoms in a community-representative Japanese working population. Whether social support and household income modified this association was also examined. Methods: A baseline survey of the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study for the Next Generation was conducted, employing a population-based cohort design across 16 municipalities in seven prefectural areas of Japan from 2011 to 2016, focusing on workers aged 40-64 years. A multiple logistic regression model was used to examine the association. Results: A total of 56,636 participants were included. Multivariate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of depressive symptoms for higher WFC were 2.94 (95% confidence interval (CI): 2.72-3.17) for men and 3.17 (95% CI: 2.95-3.39) for women, with reference to lower WFC; the ORs of depressive symptoms for higher FWC were 2.35 (95% CI: 2.19-2.53) for men and 2.99 (95% CI: 2.79-3.21) for women, with reference to lower FWC. In women, a statistically significant interaction with social support was observed. Conclusion: WFC and FWC were associated with depressive symptoms in both genders in the Japanese working-age population. Additional studies are necessary to fully understand the modification of these associations.
