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
Health considerations are seldom integrated into non-state voluntary sustainability certification standards, despite industrial fishing being one of the most hazardous occupations, often resulting in significant health risks for fishers. These challenges not only affect individual fishers but also have broader implications for the socio-ecological sustainability of fisheries. This study explores the effects of certification programs on industrial fishing activities and their health and safety dimensions within a socio-ecological framework, focusing on the Atlantic shrimp fishery in Nigeria. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. Data were gathered from experienced employees of Friend of the Sea (FOS) certified and non-certified (Business-as-Usual, BAU) industrial fisheries through questionnaires, complemented by semi-structured interviews with selected key informants. The study examines the relationships between demographic variables, health-related indicators, and certification program participation using multivariate analyses, including Chi-square and standard logistic regression models. The findings revealed that fishers participating in the FOS certification program reported better health conditions, lower risks, and higher insurance coverage levels than their BAU counterparts. Certified fishers had greater access to sick leave and annual days off and were more likely to be physically fit for work. Conversely, fishers in the BAU group faced significantly higher health risks and casualty rates during fishing operations. These results underscore the critical role of health-focused certification programs, such as FOS, in improving the well-being of fishers, thereby enhancing the socio-ecological sustainability of Nigeria's shrimp fishing industry. The study highlights the importance of integrating health considerations into sustainability certification standards. By prioritizing fisher's safety and well-being, such programs contribute to the sustainable management of fisheries resources and environmental protection, aligning with the principles of the One Health framework.
