Occupational Injuries in Greece: A Systematic Review of the Literature.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Occupational injuries represent a significant public health issue, impacting workers' health, productivity, and economic stability. This systematic review aims to summarize and analyze the existing literature on occupational injuries in Greece, focusing on their prevalence, types, causes, and associated risk factors. A systematic search was performed using the databases PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Keywords used included ("occupational" OR "agricultural" OR "work-related") AND ("injuries" OR "accidents") AND ("Greece" OR "Greek"). Inclusion criteria were clinical studies providing quantitative data on occupational injuries in Greece. Case reports, reviews, studies in other than English language, and conference papers were excluded. Data were extracted regarding study design, population, types of injuries, causes, and risk factors. A total of 22 studies met the inclusion criteria, encompassing various sectors such as construction, agriculture, industry, and healthcare. Most studies were cross-sectional and retrospective cohorts. The prevalence of occupational injuries varied widely across different sectors, with construction and agriculture showing the highest rates, reaching 30%. Common types of injuries included fractures, sprains, and cuts, with machinery-related accidents and falls being the most frequent causes. Risk factors identified included young age, working inexperience, lack of safety training, insufficient protective equipment, and poor regulatory enforcement. Occupational injuries in Greece are a prevalent and diverse problem, heavily influenced by sector-specific factors and general safety culture. There is a need for improved regulatory frameworks, enhanced safety training programs, and better enforcement of existing laws to reduce the incidence of these injuries.
