The Association Between Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors and Motor Vehicle Crashes Among Professional Truck Drivers.
Article in Journal of occupational and environmental medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 assesses relationships between the Framingham cardiovascular disease risk (CVD risk) score and prevalence of US Department of Transportation (DOT)-reportable crashes in commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers, after controlling for potential confounders.
methodsData were analyzed from CMV drivers (N = 797) in a large cross-sectional study. CVD risk was calculated for each driver. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) between CVD risk and DOT-reportable crashes were calculated.
resultsDrivers in the two highest CVD risk groups had significantly higher likelihood of crash (OR = 2.08, 95% CI = 1.20 to 3.63 and OR = 1.99, 95% CI = 1.05 to 3.77, respectively) after adjusting for confounders. There was a significant trend of increasing prevalence of crashes with an increasing CVD risk score (P = 0.0298).
conclusionDrivers with a high CVD risk had a higher likelihood of a crash after controlling for confounders.
