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
Industrial physical therapy (IPT) interventions by physical therapists can enhance labor productivity. However, in Japan, there is a scarcity of case studies involving corporate visits, questionnaire-based data, and insights into corporate demands. Addressing this gap is vital for improving presenteeism related to chronic pain and increasing employees' health literacy, thereby advancing corporate health management. This case study evaluates the effectiveness of a workshop aimed at preventing and reducing chronic pain among employees in the Development Department of Company A, an information technology (IT) firm. The research employed pre- and post-survey questionnaires, workshop interventions, and meetings with corporate management to assess the current state of musculoskeletal chronic pain and productivity losses and to verify the intervention's effectiveness. Approximately 50 participants attended the workshop in person, while around 30 participated online, totaling 80 attendees. A total of 56 (51 men and 5 women) individuals responded to the pre-workshop questionnaire, and 28 responded to the post-workshop questionnaire. The age distribution of the 56 pre-survey respondents was as follows: 9 in their twenties, 13 in their thirties, 22 in their forties, and 12 aged 50 and older. Preliminary survey results showed that 55.4% of participants experienced chronic pain in at least one body part. The average presenteeism value was 82.8% (standard deviation = 16.8). It was also found that literacy regarding appropriate pain management strategies was low. An independent
