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
introductionIn recent years, Italy has seen a reduction in workplace accidents due to several factors, including the controls carried out by the Health and Safety at Work Services (PSAL) of the Local Health Units (ATS).
objectiveTo verify the contribution of PSAL Services to injury reduction. In particular, to identify the existence of a difference between incidence rates of accidents in companies before and after inspections and possible variations in rates between inspected and non-inspected companies.
methodsWe analyzed data of the activities carried out by the PSAL Services of the Lombardy Region in the system I.M.Pre.S@ (Computerization and Health Prevention Monitoring) in the period 2010-2015, together with data from the Regional Accident Database of the National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work (INAIL). The "difference in difference" (DID) method was used to evaluate the different effect on inspected and non-inspected industries.
resultsBetween the pre- and post-vigilance periods, inspected companies showed a greater reduction either of total injury rates (DID=-2.7 per 1000 worker-years; 90% confidence interval (CI): -4.1; -1.3) or of severe injury rates (DID=-1.1; 90% CI: -1.7; -0.5). These effects were visible in the majority of ATS and occupational sectors.
conclusionsThis study, made possible by a valid and efficient regional data tracking system, has shown the positive effect of the PSAL prevention actions on the frequency of both total and severe injuries.
