Lower Limb Varicose Veins among Nurses: A Single Center Cross-Sectional Study in Mansoura, Egypt.
Article in Indian journal of occupational and environmental medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundLower limb varicose veins are common among nurses due to occupational and nonoccupational risk factors.
aimsTo estimate the prevalence of lower limbs varicosity and its associated risk factors. SETTINGS AND
designA cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out among 201 nurses at Mansoura University Hospital from January 1
methodsA questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic data, risk factors for varicose veins, and occupational details. Varicose veins were diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Univariate and logistic regression analyses were done.
resultsThe prevalence of varicose veins was 18.4%. Significant independent predictors are being ≥25 years old, working in emergency rooms and ICU/operative rooms, and using oral contraceptives with adjusted odds ratios [95% Confidence Interval (CI)] of [8.7 (2.6-28.4)], [10.8 (2.6-45.9)], [16.2 (3.9-67.4)], and [4.2 (1.3-13.2)], respectively.
conclusionsIndependent predictors, other than age, are modifiable and those with highest AOR are occupationally related.
