Biomatrix of health risk assessment of benzene-exposed workers at Thai gasoline stations.
Article in Journal of occupational health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThis study assessed the health risk of benzene exposure among Thai gasoline station workers through biomarker detection and experience of adverse symptoms.
methodsTrans, trans-muconic acid (tt-MA) metabolites of benzene were analyzed from spot urine sampled among gasoline station workers after shift work using HPLC-UV. Air benzene monitoring was done with an active sampler connected to a charcoal sorbent tube, and analyzed by GC-FID. The health risk was calculated by using the biomatrix of the likelihood of benzene exposure and the severity of adverse symptoms.
resultsThe tt-MA concentration, among 235 workers, ranged from less than 10-2159 µg/g Cr, which corresponded to the air benzene concentration range of <0.1 to 65.8 ppb. In total, 32.3% of workers had a higher than acceptable risk level and there was a significant association between gasoline station work zones and the likelihood of benzene exposure as well as the health risk of workers. The health risk levels estimated from the biomarker monitoring were consistent with the risk matrix of air benzene monitoring.
conclusionThis tt-MA biomarker monitoring and biomatrix of health risk assessment is suggested as useful for health surveillance of gasoline station workers exposed to benzene.
