Job strain, social support, and alcohol-related health problems: A register-based cohort study.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the association between job strain (combination of job demands and job control) and alcohol-related health problems among men and women and the extent to which workplace social support moderates this association.
methodsThis study used information from the register-based Swedish Work, Illness, and Labor-market Participation (SWIP) cohort, focusing on working individuals born 1945-1975, who were registered in Sweden in 2005 (N=2 822 462). Job demands, control and workplace social support were measured using job exposure matrices (JEM). Information on alcohol-related health problems (morbidity, mortality, medication prescription, sickness absence and disability pension) was obtained from multiple registers between 2006 and 2020. Cox regression models were employed to estimate associations between job strain and alcohol-related health problems, adjusting for sociodemographic background and previous health. The modifying effect of social support was assessed using relative excess risk due to interactions (RERI).
resultsHigh-strain and passive jobs were related to an increased risk of alcohol-related health problems among both men [hazard ratios (HR) 1.28 and 1.32] and women (HR 1.06 and 1.05), after adjusting for important individual and parental covariates. Weak social support had diverging associations with the outcome for men and women. Strong social support appeared to buffer the risk in passive jobs but only among women (RERI=0.08).
conclusionsIn Sweden, job strain seems to influence alcohol-related health problems, particularly among men. Women, however, appear to experience the protective effects of strong work-related social support measured at the occupational level.
