Second workers' compensation claims: who is at risk? Analysis of WorkSafe Victoria, Australia compensation claims.
Article in Canadian journal of public health = Revue canadienne de sante publique, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo determine the risk factors associated with early repeat workers' compensation claims in Victoria, Australia and to compare our findings with those of a study on the Alberta's Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) in Canada.
methodsWe reviewed and described 178,630 claims from 1996-2009. Both persons with single and persons with multiple claims were included. Survival analysis was used to determine the impact of socio-demographic factors on the time between claims.
resultsA total of 37% of persons with an initial claim lodged a second claim. A reduced time to a second claim was observed in younger males in the manufacturing industry. Earlier second claims were more common in workers exposed to mental stress, sound and pressure, or chemical and other substances. These findings are similar to those of WCB Alberta.
conclusionThere is a potential to reduce the socio-economic burden of workplace injury in both jurisdictions by enacting prevention programs targeted at workers with an increased risk of repeat claims.
