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
The objective of this systematic review was to identify, appraise, and meta-synthesize qualitative evidence regarding the experiences and perceptions of men in both white-collar and blue-collar jobs. The systematic review of qualitative studies searches was conducted in MEDLINE, Scopus, EBSCohost, ProQuest, CINAHL, and PsycINFO of articles published between 2005 and 2025 to ensure information is current and relevant to modern practices and to analyze trends and the evolution of a research field over a significant period of 20 years. In total, 2,074 articles were identified, and after screening using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, 12 studies were included in the review. The search strategy included a combination of Smart Texting searching of the three main concepts being examined in this review (experience/perception, pressure at work, and coping strategies). Study quality was evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program tool. Qualitative data were analyzed using a meta-ethnographic approach, comprising reciprocal syntheses of participants' experiences in both white-collar and blue-collar jobs. A lines-of-argument synthesis is presented that identified the key elements of the experiences, perceptions, work environments, and coping strategies of men in white-collar and blue-collar jobs. This systematic review used meta-ethnographic approach to synthesize qualitative evidence regarding the experiences and perceptions of men in both white-collar and blue-collar jobs. The lack of trust together with hegemonic masculinity made it difficult for men to timely communicate and seek help for any prevailing problems. The societal concept that categorizes men as strong gender has not been helpful to the physical, mental, and psychological wellbeing of men.
