Psychosocial work factors and subsequent mental health service use: a prospective study using the national ESPS survey in France.
Article in European journal of public 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
The objective was to study the prospective associations between psychosocial work factors and mental health service use. The study used data from the national French periodical ESPS survey collected in 2010, 2012, and 2014 and linked to the national health insurance database. Psychosocial work factors included quantitative demands, tensions with the public, low freedom at work, low possibilities for learning new things, low colleague support, low recognition at work, low salary satisfaction, job insecurity, temporary contract, and redundancy plan. The number of exposures to these factors was calculated. Mental health service use from the national health insurance database was measured by visits to office- and hospital-based psychiatrists within the 2-year period following each survey wave. The prospective associations between psychosocial work factors and the 2-year incidence of mental health service use were studied using mixed effects Cox proportional hazards models with adjustment for covariates. The study sample included 8576 working men and women without mental health service use within the 6 months preceding survey wave. High quantitative demands, low freedom at work, and low colleague support were predictive of mental health service use. The higher the number of exposures, the higher the incidence of mental health service use. There was no gender-related interaction. The study brought support for the prospective associations between psychosocial work factors and mental health service use. Preventive measures towards psychosocial work factors, including multiple exposure, may help to reduce mental health service use and improve mental health among the working population.
