The association between shift work and the incidence of reflux esophagitis in Korea: a cohort study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Shift work has adverse health effects such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, sleep disturbance, depression, and breast cancer. Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) results in lesions such as reflux esophagitis (RE) and Barrett's esophagus. This study investigated the association between shift work and RE. A cohort study was conducted with 140,553 participants who were followed up at least once from 2012 to 2018. Type of working and shift types were collected using standardized questionnaires. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was performed by experienced endoscopists who were blinded to the aims of this study. According to the Los Angeles classification, RE was categorized based on the extent of esophageal mucosal breaks. During the 469,217.2 person-years of follow-up, 35,185 participants developed incident cases of RE. The multivariable adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence intervals) for incident cases comparing shift work to fixed day work was 1.09 (1.04-1.13). This association was more strongly observed in the younger age group (18-39 years old) and the female group. In conclusion, shift work was significantly associated with the incidence of RE. Particularly, the results were more significant in the younger and female groups.
