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

Using the employed subsample of a broader Ontario-wide online survey, this article compares union and non-union experiences of COVID-19 safety in 2020. We examine infection control, paid time off, anxiety, and awareness of union advocacy, using this non-probability sample for analytic generalization rather than population estimates. In this sample, union-covered respondents more often reported visible ventilation and filtration, referenced joint committees or designated representatives in their accounts, and reported more usable paid sick leave, while stress and anxiety were high in both groups, and differences by union coverage were small within this sample. We discuss what these patterns suggest for unions, employers, and policy as temporary COVID-19 leave has ended and long-term protections are debated.
