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

aimThe aim of the study was to investigate compliance with occupational health and safety (OHS) among pregnant surgeons.

methodsAll female surgeons in Saxony up to 45 years of age received a written questionnaire about their work environment during pregnancy. Predefined and expert-based criteria of OHS were analyzed descriptively. Poor compliance with OSH was defined as meeting a maximum of half of the criteria. Using logistic regression, professional factors (i. e. "operating due to lack of staff") and personal factors (i. e. "operating due to residency") were investigated for poor compliance with OSH.

resultsOf the participating female specialists, 55% (response=39%) had performed surgery during pregnancy. On average, 7.4 of the 16 occupational health and safety measures were fulfilled (median=8; range 1-13). In none of the cases were all predefined OSH criteria fulfilled. Two-thirds of the women who worked in non-operative areas took on invasive activities. When the women were working outside the operating theatre, an average of 4.1 of 13 predefined OSH criteria was fulfilled (median=4; range 0-8). "Lack of staff" was related to poor OSH compliance in the multivariate analysis (OR=5.9 (95% CI 1.7-20.0)).

conclusionThe results of the study show a great need for improvement in the occupational safety of pregnant surgeons.
