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

Objectives: Personality is connected with the possible development of various diseases; therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of Type A and B personalities and their relationship with anti-health behaviors among Polish doctors. Methods: The study group included 823 (100%) physicians working in Poland. The study was conducted using an original questionnaire, consisting of questions regarding general data, and standardized anti-health behaviors assessment questionnaires available publicly. Results: The most common risk factors in the study group were: stress (545; 66.22%), insufficient sleep (375; 45.57%) and low physical activity (322; 39.17%). Physicians with Type A personality achieved higher score values on all subscales of the My Eating Habits Questionnaire than physicians with intermediate and Type B personalities. Conclusion: The occurrence of Type A personality was associated with, among others, worse eating habits, more frequent sleep deprivation, and exposure to stress and low physical activity. There is a need to conduct educational activities at an early school stage regarding the benefits of following healthy lifestyle recommendations, and consequently limiting the development of diseases and their complications.
