Occupational exposure to crystalline silica in a sample of the French general population.
Article in Journal of occupational medicine and toxicology (London, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo describe the proportions of subjects exposed to crystalline silica and the sectors of activity concerned between 1965 and 2010 in a sample of the general French population.
methodsWe included 2942 participants aged 40 to 65 years, recruited at random from electoral rolls, from the French general population in the cross-sectional ELISABET study between 2011 and 2013. The proportions of subjects exposed to crystalline silica and their sectors of activity were determined on the basis of their career history and the use of the Matgéné job-exposure matrix.
resultsIn the total sample, occupational exposure to crystalline silica was found for 291 subjects (9.9%) between 1965 and 2010, with a predominance of men (20.2% of exposed subjects among men (282 out of 1394) versus 0.6% among women (9 out of 1548)). The highest proportion of participants exposed to crystalline silica was reached in 1980 with 6.1% and then decreases to 4.4% in 2010. Among men, the most frequently exposed sectors of activity were manufacture of basic metals (41.5% of exposed men (117 out of 282)), specialised construction activities (23.1% of exposed men (65 out of 282)) and construction of buildings (14.2% of exposed men (40 out of 282)).
conclusionsAlthough the proportion of workers exposed to crystalline silica has been decreasing since the 1980s, it is still significant at least until 2010, particularly in the construction sector, and further research is needed to improve the monitoring of workers who are or have been exposed to crystalline silica.
