Workplace mistreatment and problem drinking among physicians in Sweden: a longitudinal study.
Article in Scandinavian journal of work, environment & health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesRecent studies report high levels of workplace mistreatment among Swedish physicians. Various types of mistreatments have been correlated with adverse alcohol use. This study investigated the impact of workplace mistreatment (ie, threats and violence, harassment and incivility) on subsequent problem drinking among physicians in Sweden.
methodsData from the Longitudinal Occupational Health survey in Healthcare Sweden (LOHHCS) were used, including 1618 clinically active physicians aged <67 years. Baseline data were collected between March and June 2022, and follow-up data between October and December 2023. Associations between three different types of workplace mistreatment and problem drinking were analyzed using logistic regressions adjusted for relevant confounders.
resultsExposure to threats and violence [odds ratio (OR) 2.78, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.48-5.20] and workplace incivility (OR 3.25, 95% CI 1.24-8.54), respectively, significantly predicted problem drinking at follow-up. No significant association was found between harassment and problem drinking. When adjusting for co-occurring forms of mistreatment, only threats and violence remained a significant predictor.
conclusionThis study reveals a significant association between exposure to threats and violence at work and workplace incivility, respectively, and subsequent problem drinking among physicians. The findings underscore the need for interventions to prevent mistreatment within the healthcare system, as well as treatment and support for individuals who have been exposed.
