Association of work-related stressors, support, and satisfaction with cardiovascular disease incidence among Japanese civil servants: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Journal of occupational health, 2026. 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
objectivesWork-related stress is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet the contributions of specific work-related stressors, support, and satisfaction to CVD incidence are not fully understood. Clarifying whether lifestyle behaviors and physiological factors mediate associations between stressors and CVD is essential for targeted prevention.
methodsIn this prospective cohort study, a cohort of 4820 Japanese workers (3876 men and 944 women) aged 35-65 years was followed up for CVD incidence from 2007 to 2022. Work-related stressors (eg, quantitative job overload), support (eg, supervisor support), and satisfaction (eg, family life satisfaction) were assessed using the 57-item Brief Job Stress Questionnaire. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for CVD risk. Mediation analysis evaluated the role of lifestyle behaviors (eg, smoking, alcohol consumption) and physiological factors (eg, systolic blood pressure, obesity) in the association between stressors and CVD incidence.
resultsQuantitative job overload, low supervisor support, and low family life satisfaction were independently associated with increased CVD incidence (HRs ranging from 1.69 to 2.33). A proportion (24.9%) of the association of quantitative job overload with CVD was significantly mediated by obesity (P = .007).
conclusionsQuantitative job overload, lack of supervisor support, and low family life satisfaction were significant predictors of CVD among Japanese civil servants. These findings suggest that both reducing excessive workload and strengthening support systems inside and outside the workplace may be important for CVD prevention among Japanese civil servants.
