1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo identify occupational groups at high risk of airway obstruction (AO) and mortality and potential interactions with smoking.

methodsLung function data from the LuftiBus project were enriched with occupational and follow-up information from the Swiss National Cohort, resulting in a cohort of 10582 adults between 2000 and 2015. We assigned professions to occupational groups and estimated the risk of AO and mortality using adjusted logistic and Cox regression model. Additionally, we assessed multiplicative and additive interactions between occupational exposure and smoking.

resultsChimney sweeps and male workers from the agriculture, construction and food industries had an increased risk of AO (odds ratios ranging from 1.43 to 2.21). The risk of mortality was increased among male workers from the food industry (hazard ratio 1.57, 95% CI 1.10-2.23). Interactions with smoking were present in most associations, but smoking had no effect on the increased risk of mortality in the food industry.

conclusionsSome occupational groups have a considerable risk of AO and mortality. The identification of the most affected occupations is of great importance enabling targeted risk reduction strategies.
