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 evaluate the association between burden of disease and multimorbidity and absenteeism in Brazil.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study using data from the National Survey of Health 2019. The assessed outcome was absenteeism from work. The burden of disease was assessed by simply counting a list of 14 morbidities and multimorbidity was defined as: ≥two chronic diseases. Poisson regression models stratified by sex were used to estimate crude and adjusted prevalence ratios and their respective 95% confidence intervals.
resultsOf the 96,131,029 employed individuals, 38.5% reported absenteeism (95%CI 32.9-44.3). The most prevalent morbidities among women who reported absenteeism were back problems (50.8%), depression (42.9%), and hypertension (41.6%); and among men, hypertension (39.7%), chronic back pain (34.1%), and dyslipidemia (19.9%), among those who reported absenteeism. Having multimorbidity increased the report of absenteeism among women by 73% (95%CI 1.01-2.96); among men, there was no association after progressive adjustment for sociodemographic and health factors [PR 1.27 (95%CI 0.96-1.71)].
conclusionThe burden of disease and multimorbidity are highly prevalent among employed individuals and are strongly related to absenteeism from work, especially among women. In this sense, workers must be the target of interventions to reduce the impact of chronic noncommunicable diseases.
