Relationships Between Poor Health and Calories From Fat Among Commercial Truck Drivers.
Article in Journal of occupational and environmental medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveCommercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers face many challenges to their health, including poor diet, disease, and crash risk. This study quantifies relationships between the percentage of calories from fat (PCF) and markers of poor health, many of which are associated with increased crash risk.
methodsCross-sectional data from 790 CMV drivers were analyzed. PCF were estimated using the National Cancer Institute Percentage Energy from Fat Screener. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were calculated.
resultsThe highest category of PCF (>38.2%) was statistically significantly more likely to not exercise (OR = 2.08), have sleep apnea (OR = 2.31), snore (OR = 1.90), smoke (OR = 2.28), and use alcohol (OR = 1.87) after adjustments.
conclusionMeaningful relationships between PCF and poor health indicators exist. These indicators may provide an intervention to improve the health and safety of CMV drivers.
