Gender differences in occupational hazard exposures within the same occupation: A nationally representative analysis in South Korea.
Article in Scandinavian journal of work, environment & health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveOccupational health researchers have often treated gender as a confounder in epidemiologic studies, but gender may influence exposure profiles. This study investigated gender differences in occupational hazard exposures within the same occupation.
methodsWe analyzed the 6
resultsWe found persistent gender differences in occupational hazard exposures, even after matching of men and women within the same occupation and industry based on propensity scores. Men reported a higher prevalence of exposure to physical (eg, loud noise) and chemical factors (eg, chemical products), while women were more likely to be exposed to psychosocial factors (eg, handling angry clients). The findings on musculoskeletal factors were mixed, with men being more exposed to standing and women to repetitive hand movements.
conclusionsGender should be considered when planning interventions to reduce occupational harmful exposures, even within the same occupation.
