Association of occupational exposures and work characteristics with the occurrence of gastrointestinal disorders.
Article in Hippokratia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundWork is a daily activity with various conditions, exposures, and habits that may affect health either positively or negatively. Aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between occupational factors and conditions, and the occurrence of gastrointestinal disorders.
methodsWe enrolled in this study a sample of 891 consecutive individuals, who were examined by standard colonoscopy and gastroscopy and interviewed regarding their working conditions and exposures. Consecutively, data were statistically analyzed to explore possible associations.
resultsPeptic ulcer diagnosis was associated with reports of muscle pain/headache [odds ratio (OR): 3.656, 95 % confidence interval (95% CI): 1.898-7.043], with working in shifts (OR: 2.463, 95% CI: 1.058-5.731), and with the presence of occupational stress (OR: 2.283, 95% CI: 1.162-4.486). Gastritis was associated with muscle pain/headache (OR: 2.258, 95% CI: 1.096-4.652), shift work (OR: 3.535, 95% CI: 1.345-9.29), occupational stress (OR: 2.182, 95% CI: 1.072-4.444), and sedentary work (OR 0.275 lower risk 95% CI: 0.113-0.671). Ulcerative colitis was associated with muscle pain/headache (OR: 6.211, 95% CI: 2.162-17.840) and occupational stress (OR: 6.418, 95% CI: 2.243-18.361), while Crohn's disease diagnosis with muscle pain/headache (OR: 3.554, 95% CI: 1.628-7.759), frequent ordering food at work (OR: 4.928, 95% CI: 2.3-10.559), occupational stress (OR: 3.023, 95% CI: 1.413-6.469), work with intense physical activity (OR: 0.665 lower risk, 95% CI: 0.252-0.758). Colon cancer diagnosis was associated with frequent ordering food at work (OR: 2.739, 95% CI: 1.268-5.916) and occupational stress (OR: 3.175, 95% CI: 1.384-7.286), while stomach cancer diagnosis with ordering food at work (OR: 2.794, 95% CI: 1.154-6.763) and exposure to dust (OR: 5.650, 95% CI: 1.551-20.582). Finally, presence of polyps was associated with ordering food at work (OR: 2.154, 95% CI: 1.135-4.091), and constipation with ordering food at work (OR: 2.869, 95% CI: 1.451-5.672), occupational stress (OR: 2.112, 95% CI: 1.097-4.066), and occupational noise (OR: 0.248, 95% CI: 0.084-0.737).
conclusionThe incidence of the gastrointestinal diseases is affected by occupational exposures and related lifestyle habits. HIPPOKRATIA 2017, 21(2): 74-79.
