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

backgroundWorkplace health promotion (WHP) is voluntary activity of employers aimed at improving health and well-being of employees. This study aimed to assess the employees' perceptions of employer-provided WHP activities in Poland as well as to identify factors associated with reported WHP provision and the use of WHP activities among full-time employees aged 18-60 years.

methodsThis questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey was carried out in December 2025 among 1030 full-time employees aged 18-60 years in Poland using the computer-assisted web interview (CAWI) methodology. Quota sampling was used, with gender, age, and place of residence included into stratification model.

resultsAmong the respondents, 49.8% worked in private Polish company, 26.6% worked in companies with more than 500 employees. Most of the respondents rated their job satisfaction as rather satisfied (61.2%), 64.2% had non-manual work, and 58.5% worked on fixed daytime hours. Among the respondents (n = 1030), 42.2% declared that their employer offers WHP - 20.1% regularly and 22.1% occasionally. Half of respondents, often (40.7%) or very often (9.9%) used WHP activities available in their workplace. Lack of time was the most common (34.5%) barrier in the use of WHP activities. Job satisfaction was the only socio-demographic variable that differentiated (p < 0.001) uptake of employer-provided WHP activities. Age 18-54 (p < 0.05), living in cities over 500,000 residents (aOR: 1.58; 95%CI: 1.02-2.45; p = 0.04), working in private foreign-owned company (aOR: 2.56; 95%CI:1.72-3.79; p < 0.001), working in company with more than 500 employees (aOR: 2.74; 95%CI: 1.59-4.73; p < 0.001), being rather satisfied (aOR: 3.90; 95%CI: 1.94-7.72; p < 0.001) or very satisfied (aOR: 5.66; 95%CI: 2.65-12.11; p < 0.001) from the current job; manager, director level or executive position (p < 0.05), as well as shift work including night shifts (aOR: 1.90; 95%CI: 1.16-3.11; p = 0.01) or flexible working hours (aOR: 1.95; 95%CI:1.30-2.94; p = 0.001) were significantly associated with higher odds of reporting access to WHP activities.

conclusionsThis study provides an overview of WHP activities in Poland. Less than half of full-time employees in Poland reported access to employer-provided WHP, with significant differences by sociodemographic and job-related factors.
