Occupational accidents among rice farmers in Northern Vietnam.

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
This study investigated the rate of agricultural occupational accidents among rice farmers in rural Northern Vietnam and identified factors associated with these accidents. A cross-sectional study was conducted on rice farmers in rural Thai Binh province, Northern Vietnam. A multi-stage random sampling method was used to select 1,171 rice farmers from six communes. Data were collected through structured interviews at the participants' homes using a pilot-tested questionnaire that gathered information on occupational accidents in the previous six months, including their causes, frequency, and related injuries. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the factors associated with occupational accidents, considering variables such as age, gender, alcohol consumption, daily exercise, and working hours. Model fit was evaluated using goodness-of-fit tests, and significant variables were identified based on a p-value of < 0.05. Of the 1,171 rice farmers, 17.5% reported experiencing at least one occupational accident in the preceding six months. Sharp objects were the leading cause of accidents (46.3%), followed by falls (37.1%). Additionally, 41.0% of farmers who experienced accidents reported having three or more incidents in the past six months. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the likelihood of occupational accidents was significantly associated with increasing age, female gender, lack of daily exercise, alcohol consumption, and longer working hours. The final model showed good fit, with these variables demonstrating independent contributions to the accident risk. This study found a significant prevalence of occupational accidents among rice farmers in Northern Vietnam. Factors such as age, gender, exercise habits, alcohol use, and working hours were associated with higher accident risk. Future research should focus on exploring the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of farmers regarding accident prevention, and interventions should be developed to address these risk factors and improve safety in rice cultivation.
