Prevalence of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders Among Orthopedic Surgeons in Saudi Arabia: A Systematic Literature Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07562126 (Prevalence of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders Among Orthopedic Surgeons), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
Work-related musculoskeletal disorder (WRMD) complications are common in surgeons in general, but they are much higher in orthopedic surgeons. Numerous studies have explored the prevalence of WRMD among orthopedic surgeons internationally. However, little research has been carried out in Saudi Arabia on this matter. This review aimed to investigate it. A consistent and systematic search method was carried out to establish studies reporting the prevalence of WRMD among orthopedic surgeons in Saudi Arabia. The search comprised published research from 2000 to June 2024. Nine eligible studies were incorporated for analysis, which involved 490 participants. The prevalence documented in these studies has exhibited an upward trend in recent years, with reported rates ranging from 36% to 90.3%. The most frequent anatomic site is found to be the lower back. There is a significant association between WRMD, smoking, and increasing age. The prevalence of WRMD is elevated among orthopedics based on existing information in the literature. Hospitals, along with orthopedic residency programs offering orthopedic-specialized ergonomics or occupational injury lectures as well as workshops, may help equip surgeons with the necessary knowledge and skills for addressing this issue.
