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
Introduction Noise or noise pollution is a phenomenon that causes an auditory sensation considered unpleasant, undesirable, and annoying, which may present a danger to health in general and the auditory system in particular. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of noise pollution among workers in a brewery in the city of Conakry. Patient and methods This is a prospective descriptive study, of two months' duration (November 11, 2019, to January 10, 2020) carried out in the industrial unit of the Limited Company of Breweries of Guinea (SOBRAGUI). We included all the workers of the company exposed to noise pollution in their workplaces, after their informed consent. Results The age of the workers varied between 22 and 70 years, with a mean age of 44.14 ± 8.07 years. We noted a male predominance of 99.22% (n=128) cases. The average duration of exposure was 14.28 ± 6.78 years, with variations ranging from one year to 35 years. Among the auditory disorders, we noted tinnitus in 63.8% (n=74), hypoacusis in 56.9% (n=66), and auditory fatigue in 52.6% (n=61) of cases. These signs were often associated with each other and with other extra-auditory symptoms in the same worker. Audiometry revealed a moderate to severe hearing loss in 13.8% (n=16) and profound deafness in 0.9% (n=1) of cases. The impact of noise pollution on workers' performance was reflected in concentration difficulties in 57.7% (n=67) of cases. Conclusion Noise pollution is present in the SOBRAGUI bottling line. It has a negative impact on the health of workers and alters their work performance.
