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
Ethiopia has experienced rapid urbanization over the past three decades, leading to the explosion of building construction. The job created in the construction industry of the country was hazardous due to the nature of the activities involved in the industry. However there is paucity of evidence regarding the prevalence and risk factors of injuries in the industry to make evidence-based policy framework within the country. Therefore, this study seeks to examine the magnitude of non-fatal occupational injuries and the associated factors among building construction sites workers in Aleta Wodo, Sidama, Ethiopia. An institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted in South Ethiopia from September to October 2023. The study utilized a multi-stage sampling technique to select the 613 study participants. The data was collected using a structured interviewer administered questionnaire. Epi Inf version 7.2 was used to enter data and the data was analysed using IBM-SPSS version 22. Bivariate and Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to assess association between the outcome and predictor variables. During the multivariable regression p-value less than 0.05 were taken to determine significant association. The annual prevalence of wok-place injury in the current study was 64.1% (95 CI: 60.7, 67.9). Male construction workers [AOR = 3.6, 95% CI (2.12, 6.15)], monthly income of ≤ 1000 [AOR = 4.56, 95% CI (1.56, 13.36)], 1001-3000 [AOR = 9.7, 95% CI (3.45, 27.3)], and 3001-5000 [AOR = 6.56, 95% CI (1.96, 21.9)], working more than eight hours [AOR = 7.9, 95% CI (4.36, 14.64)], drinking alcohol [AOR = 3.28, 95% CI (1.63, 6.6)] and participants unsatisfied with their job [AOR = 3.12, 95% CI (1.36, 7.16)] were significantly associated with non-fatal occupational injury. The magnitude of non-fatal occupational injury among construction workers was high in the study area. The study concluded that sex, monthly income, length of working hours, drinking alcohol and dissatisfaction with job were risk factors for occupational injuries among construction employee.
