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
objectivesThis study aims to investigate the relationship between noise kurtosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk while exploring the potential of kurtosis assessment in evaluating CVD risk associated with complex noise exposure in coal mines.
methodsThis cross-sectional study started in April 2021 and ended in November 2022. It involved 705 coal miners selected from 1045 participants. The participants underwent questionnaire surveys, physical examinations and assessment of individual noise exposure levels in the form of LAeq.8h. Individual CVD risk was evaluated by employing the Prediction for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk in China (China-PAR). Logistic regression analyses were used to analyse the effect of noise kurtosis on the risk of developing CVD and adjust for confounders to determine independent effects. Stratified analyses were applied to examine the effect of different noise characteristics on risk.
resultsIn cardiovascular risk assessment using China-PAR, 637 and 68 individuals were classified as low and high risk, respectively. Notably, the group exposed to noise levels of 85-100 dB(A) exhibited a significantly higher risk than those exposed to noise levels of <85 dB(A). Regarding kurtosis (β), individuals with β < 3 had low cardiovascular risk, whereas those with β > 5 had high risk, with risk increasing alongside kurtosis. Correlation analysis indicated a strong association amongst noise kurtosis, cumulative noise exposure (CNE) and CVD risk after accounting for individual age and service duration. Logistic regression analysis identified kurtosis as the primary influencing factor for CVD risk (odds ratio = 3.46, 95% confidence interval: 1.68-7.13).
conclusionsGiven the pervasive presence of complex noise in the coal mining industry, kurtosis can serve as a valuable supplementary parameter for adjusting CNE, thus facilitating the assessment of CVD risk associated with complex noise exposure in coal mines.
