Always available? A systematic review on extended work-related availability, health outcomes and work-family conflict.
Synthesis in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: This study critically explores the link between work-related extended availability, work-family conflict, and health outcomes through a systematic literature review, incorporating various theoretical frameworks, including the Work-Life Border Theory, the Job Demands-Resources Model, and the Conservation of Resources Theory. Methods: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, 17 studies were selected for the final analysis. Results: The review shows that higher levels of work-related extended availability are associated with increased work-family conflict and poorer health outcomes, notably higher stress, burnout, and reduced mental well-being. The research identifies key moderating factors such as organizational conditions (like structural autonomy and workload control) and boundary management style, which can lessen or intensify the negative impacts of work-related extended availability. Discussion: These results deepen the understanding of the complex, conditional relationship between work-related extended availability and work-family conflict, highlighting the need for nuanced, context-aware strategies that address individual differences and organizational settings. This work provides valuable theoretical insights and practical guidance for managing the challenges of work-related extended availability in modern organizations. For future studies, examining additional moderation effects is recommended, employing longitudinal designs, and broadening the research scope to include high-risk professions.
