1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Protection provided by vibration-reducing gloves (VR) when used with impact tools can be considerably different from that measured following the ISO 10819 Standard. This paper investigates the transmissibility, at the palm level, of three different types of vibration-reducing gloves (air bubbles; gel; neoprene) and a working leather glove, while using 8 different models of electro-pneumatic hammers for chiseling rock in a limestone quarry plant. The capability to reduce the triaxial vibration as the average of all the tested hammers results limited: 12 % for both the gloves in gel and neoprene, and 7 % for the glove in air. The working leather glove shows a tri-axial transmissibility (Tc
