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
backgroundWarm-water immersion foot (WWIF) is associated with prolonged contact with water at high temperature. Car wash workers are frequently exposed to humidity, however, there are not studies targeting diseases affecting this category of employees.
objectiveTo investigate the frequency of WWIF among car wash workers.
methodsThe study was carried out in 2013 at a car wash service in Jundiaí, São Paulo, Brazil. A group of 30 workers was subjected to clinical interview and dermatological examination. Statistical tests were performed to assess the association between WWIF and independent variables.
resultsAll the participants were male, their average age was 23 years old, and the most (60%) had worked at the investigated company for more than one year. Sixty percent of the participants exhibited lesions compatible with WWIF. Age and length of work at the company were associated with the assessed outcome. The participants were frequently and permanently exposed to humidity along the working day without wearing impermeable clothes.
conclusionMost participants exhibited WWIF; the ones over 30 years old and having worked less than 1 year at the investigated company exhibited higher odds of WWIF due to occupational exposure to humidity.
