Work-related musculoskeletal disorders among schoolteachers.

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
introductionTeachers belong to a risk group for the onset of musculoskeletal disorders, which may be justified by some work-related factors, with a direct impact on their lives.
objectivesTo evaluate the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders among elementary school teachers in Jequié, state of Bahia, Brazil, and to investigate the association of these disorders with sociodemographic, occupational, organizational and health variables.
methodsA cross-sectional epidemiological study with a sample of 304 elementary school teachers in Jequié. A standardized collection instrument was applied and the instrument data were analyzed using descriptive statistics procedures, with prevalence ratios and 95% confidence interval.
resultsThe prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders was 24.3% for any of the body segments, 15.5% for the back, 16.1% for the upper limbs and 12.5% for the lower limbs. There was a statistically significant association between musculoskeletal disorders and female sex, older age, black, brown and red skin, time working as a teacher of more than 14 years, presence of comorbidities, irregular sleeping pattern, consumption of alcohol and tobacco, and a regular lifestyle.
conclusionsTeachers presented a high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in upper limbs, back, and lower limbs. In addition, associations with the investigated factors demonstrate that inadequate teaching conditions contribute negatively to teachers' health.
