1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Increased competition in European aviation has led to cost-cutting measures and restructuring, resulting in more demanding psychosocial work environments for aircrew (pilots and cabin crew). Understanding how different combinations of psychosocial work environment risks relate to mental health and safety behaviors could guide targeted interventions to enhance wellbeing and flight safety. Methods: This cross-sectional study used self-reported data collected in Europe in 2022 and examined combinations of self-rated psychosocial factors, mental health (i.e., depression, anxiety, and fatigue), and fitness-to-fly safety behaviors (i.e., presenteeism and self-disclosure of unfitness) among pilots ( Results: Among pilots and cabin crew, four profiles of the psychosocial work environment were identified: Conclusion: By focusing on health and safety in relation to the psychosocial work environment, we show that addressing psychosocial risks could be associated with dual benefits, enhancing occupational health, while simultaneously improving flight safety. Practical application: The study offers practical insights into which organizational and psychosocial factors could be targeted to improve mental health and safety behaviors among aircrew in Europe.
