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

Digitalization, driven by the widespread adoption of information and communication technology (ICT), reshapes occupational safety (OSH). This study examines emerging OSH risks linked to digitalization, assessing its benefits and challenges. Through a comprehensive literature review, key technologies influencing OSH are identified, their effects are categorized, and mitigation strategies are proposed. While ICT enhances workplace safety through improved monitoring and decision-making, it also introduces risks such as stress and information overload. The findings emphasize the need for further research on long-term impacts and effective risk management. This paper contributes to the field by highlighting ICT's positive and negative implications on OSH and underscoring the importance of responsible technology adoption. The insights presented are valuable for policymakers, researchers, and industry practitioners committed to fostering a safe and healthy work environment.
