1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Occupational health hazards pose significant risks in unique work environments such as scuba diving. This investigation aims to assess health profiles and occupational health determinants among scuba instructors in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among certified scuba instructors in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands during 2022-2023 by using a self-administered questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25. Ethical approval was granted by the institutional ethical committee. Results: The study population comprised 423 male instructors with a mean age of 26.24 ± 4.71 years. They averaged 9 ± 5.2 years of diving experience and 4 ± 3.86 years as instructors. Physical injury underwater was the most prevalent hazard, experienced by 10.4% of participants. There was a positive correlation between the instructors' knowledge of health and safety and their years of experience. Conclusion: The scuba instructors displayed elevated levels of anxiety and depression, likely due to the high risks associated with their job.
