The impact of occupational psychological hazards and metabolic syndrome on the 8-year risk of cardiovascular diseases-A longitudinal study.
Article in PloS one, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
There was little information concerning the combined effect of occupational psychosocial hazards such as long working hours, high job stress, and high fatigue on the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD). The aim of this study was to investigate the interaction among occupational psychosocial hazards and the impact of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on the risk of CVD among bus drivers. The Taiwan Bus Driver Cohort Study involving 1014 professional drivers was established in 2005 and comprehensively studied. The interactions among occupational psychosocial hazards and the impact of MetS on the risk of CVD were measured. A working pattern questionnaire, job stress questionnaires, the Swedish occupational fatigue inventory, the stress satisfaction offset score, biochemical measurements, and physical examinations were used to assess psychosocial hazards and the presence of metabolic syndrome. There were 707 eligible bus drivers with a mean age of 43.5years old. During the 8-years of follow-up, 77 drivers were diagnosed with CVD. Long working hours, high job stress, and high fatigue were associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease incidence in the multivariate analysis. There were synergistic effects among long working hours, high job stress, and high fatigue only in drivers with MetS. A combination of long working hours, high job stress, and high fatigue increased the risk of developing CVD in bus drivers with MetS.
