Onset of workplace bullying and violence and changes in health-related behaviors: a multi-cohort 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. 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
objectivesThe aim of the study was to examine whether exposure to workplace bullying and violence is associated with changes in health-related behaviors over time.
methodsThis multi-cohort study included four cohorts from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway, comprising 78 624 participants aged 18-65 years at baseline between 2004 and 2016. The data were analyzed using an emulated trial design. The main analysis ascertained both onset of workplace bullying and violence (exposures) and changes in health-related behaviors (outcome) using data from time T
resultsAmong 125 854 participant-observations across 2-3 study phases of the 78 624 participants, 6-8% experienced onset of workplace bullying and 9-14% reported onset of workplace violence over 1-2 years. The strongest association was observed between onset of violence and becoming obese, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.13 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.00-1.27] in the concurrent and 1.31 (95% CI 1.05-1.64) in the longitudinal analysis. In addition, onset of bullying (OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.06-1.44) and violence (OR 1.11, 95% CI 0.99-1.24) were concurrently associated with initiation of excessive alcohol use, with weaker associations in the longitudinal analysis. Exposure-response relationships were observed for all aforementioned associations and findings were consistent across cohorts. Men were more likely to initiate excessive alcohol use than women after experiencing violence (P=0.008).
conclusionExposure to workplace bullying and violence was associated with adverse changes in health-related behaviors.
