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
Age discrimination at work is negatively associated with older workers' labour market attachment. High levels of social capital between colleagues (horizontal social capital) and between employees and management (vertical social capital) may prevent age discrimination.
methodsWe examined the prospective association between social capital at work and perceived age discrimination among 7640 workers aged 50 years or older participating in two waves of the Danish SeniorWorkingLife cohort study.
resultsLow levels of vertical (risk ratio 3.51 (95% CI: 2.66-4.62)) and horizontal (risk ratio 2.70 (95% CI: 2.04-3.56)) social capital at baseline increased the risk of reporting age discrimination in the labour market at follow-up compared to high levels of social capital.
conclusionThe study contributes knowledge that low levels of social capital is associated with increased risk of experiencing age discrimination in the labour market. The results indicate that measures to enhance the social capital in the workplace may help prevent age discrimination and thereby contribute to prolonging working lives of older workers.
