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

Introduction: Work environments can expose professionals to psychosocial risks affecting mental health, well-being, and engagement. Engagement is key to organizational performance, job satisfaction, and talent retention, and is shaped by individual, organizational, and contextual factors. Method: The present study is embedded in the Laboratory of Healthy Work Environments (LABPATS) and aims to analyze the relationship between professional engagement, sociodemographic and organizational factors, and personal and lifestyle factors, while considering generational specificities. 8,348 professionals participated in this study, the majority of whom were female (65.1%), aged 18-78 years ( Results: Age, satisfaction with compensation, organizational ethics and values, a healthy psychosocial environment, community engagement, positive health behaviors, and stress management were associated with higher professional engagement. Psychosocial risks and teleworking showed negative associations, varying across generations. Baby Boomers and Generation X emphasize physical conditions, job stability and organizational climate, while Generations Y and Z are more sensitive to psychosocial environments and relationships. Older cohorts prioritize tangible aspects and security, whereas younger generations emphasize workplace relationships and the psychological climate. Discussion: Organizations should prioritize healthy and ethical work environments that support mental health and well-being. These findings guide decision-makers and policymakers in developing generation-sensitive interventions that improve professional engagement and sustainability.
