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

This longitudinal study investigated whether the presence of a person in charge of healthcare at a worksite, termed a healthcare administrator (HA), and not limited to licensed staff, facilitated visits to medical facilities for treatment of newly-identified hypertension after a health checkup. The study included employees at small-to-medium companies in Okinawa, Japan who had systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg, no history of hypertension in the last year, and not taking antihypertensive medication. Pre-existing data on worksite characteristics, employees' health checkups, and health insurance claims were collected. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for visits in the HA group using a multi-level logistic regression model, with the non-HA group serving as the reference. The cumulative incidence of visits during the 1
