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

Introduction: The risk factors encountered in the work of paramedics include ergonomic, physical, psychological, and biochemical factors. This study identifies discomforts experienced by paramedics during medical procedures in ambulances, emphasizing their negative impact on musculoskeletal load and forming the basis for ergonomic and organizational recommendations. Methods: The study employed non-invasive MyoMotion and EMG methods to measure musculoskeletal strain during typical stationary and transit medical procedures. Results: Preliminary results showed musculoskeletal overloads resulting from paramedics assuming forced positions during medical procedures on trauma patients. Some of these positions, especially while the ambulance was in motion, were characterized by a high risk of injury. Conclusions: An ergonomic ambulance interior can help reduce the risk of injuries during medical procedures.
