Prevalence of Musculoskeletal Disorders among Dentists in Iran: A Systematic Review.
Article in Materia socio-medica, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionMusculoskeletal disorders (MSD) have become significant problems for all health care workers especially dentists. This systematic review provides prevalence of MSD in dentists of Iran. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn this study all published literatures about MSD in Iranian dentists were selected without any time limits or other restrictions. However, it was found that the studies about MSD among Iranian dentist are very low.
resultsThe results of literatures investigations show that the prevalence was between 0.5% and 70%. The prevalence of pain in different regions includes; neck pain (0.7- 0.15), back pain (0.08 - 0.55), wrist pain (0.005-0.48), shoulder pain (0.08-0.5), knee pain (0.03- 0.25) and elbow pain (0.01- 0.2). The gender has no influence on the prevalence. Compare the results with other similar studies shows that the prevalence of MSD is an important issue in other area too.
conclusionResults show that the prevalence of musculoskeletal problems is high in Iran. Therefore it is necessary conduct reliable and comprehensive epidemiological studies in this field to determine the causes of the problem more consciously; and propose appropriate solutions.
