Association between lifestyle and hematological parameters: A study of Chinese male steelworkers.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundIncreasing evidence suggests an association between lifestyle and white blood cell (WBC) count; however, no study has examined the effects of lifestyle associations on hematological parameters. The aim of this study was to examine the association between lifestyle factors and hematological parameters in a large population-based sample of Chinese male steelworkers.
methodsThis study included 3189 male workers at a steel plant who responded to a cross-sectional questionnaire on basic attributes, lifestyle, and sleep. All workers in the plant underwent periodic health checkups. Hematological parameters were also examined at the checkup.
resultsStepwise linear regression analyses showed that smoking, poor sleep, shift work, and obesity were all significant factors associated with WBC count. Obesity was independently associated with RBC count. Furthermore, smoking and obesity were associated with hemoglobin, and smoking, poor sleep, and obesity were independently associated with hematocrit. Moreover, smoking was the main factor associated with MCV and MCH. When the subjects were divided into quartiles according to WBC count, RBC count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, and increased WBC count were associated with smoking, poor sleep, shift work, and obesity. Increased hemoglobin was associated with smoking and obesity. Furthermore, an increased RBC count was associated with obesity, and increased hematocrit was associated with smoking, poor sleep, and obesity. Similarly, increased MCV and MCH were also associated with smoking.
conclusionThis study indicates that lifestyle factors may exert an important effect on hematological parameters (eg, WBC count, RBC count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, and MCH).
