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: Absenteeism of health workers is important because it interferes with the quality of care provided to patients. Objectives: To characterize the absenteeism-illness of workers in the municipal public health network in Chapecó, SC, Brazil (2015-2018) and test the association of two or more absences in the year with the study variables. Methods: A crosssectional study was conducted, and the variables studied were sex; age group; professional category; acting time; International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, and sick leave. Descriptive analysis were performed, the factors associated with the outcome were tested, and the prevalence ratios were calculated with their respective 95% confidence intervals using Poisson regression. Results: A total of 1,695 professionals on sick leave were identified, with a higher prevalence of women (89.40%), in the 30-39 age group (33.41%), the majority with one sick leave per year (61.24%), from 3 to 9 days (47.67%). Community health workers were the category that most frequently had sick leaves (27.15%). In the years studied, there were 2,795 sick leaves (657 employees with more than one sick leaves). Musculoskeletal disorders were the main causes (21.80%) and the highest prevalence was dorsopathies (57.60%). Working for 21 years or more had a 49% higher prevalence ratio for two or more sick leaves per year, compared to having been working for up to 5 years. Conclusions: The study allowed us to characterize absenteeism-illness among workers in the healthcare services in Chapecó, SC. The results may constitute indicators of human resource management and foster strategies to promote healthy environments, prevention of diseases and injuries, and rehabilitation.
