Association among occupational class, alcohol consumption, and the risk of hospitalisations due to alcoholic liver diseases: a matched case-control study.

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
backgroundThis study aimed to identify the occupational class and specific occupations associated with hospitalisations due to alcohol-related liver disease and alcoholic liver cirrhosis, based on the distribution of alcohol consumption.
methodsThis matched case-control study used a nationwide, multicentre, inpatient dataset from the Inpatient Clinico-Occupational Database of the Rosai Hospital Group in Japan. A total of 5,490 cases with alcohol-related liver disease and 10,961 controls were included in this study. Participants were categorised according to occupational class (blue-collar, service, professional, and manager) and industrial sector (blue-collar, service, and white-collar). Professionals in white-collar industries were set as the reference group. We calculated the odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (CIs) of alcohol-related liver disease and alcoholic liver cirrhosis using conditional logistic regression models.
resultsBlue-collar workers and service workers in both the service and blue-collar industries had a higher risk of hospitalisations due to alcohol-related liver disease: The ORs (95% CIs) for alcohol-related liver disease were 1.33 (1.15-1.55) for blue-collar workers in the blue-collar industry, 1.21 (1.03-1.42) for service workers in the blue-collar industry, 1.23 (1.01-1.51) for blue-collar workers in the service industry, and 1.47 (1.25-1.72) for service workers in the service industry. Among service workers, food and drink preparatory workers and customer service workers had a higher risk of hospitalisations due to alcohol-related liver disease and alcoholic liver cirrhosis compared to professionals (reference group), with ORs of 2.28 (1.81-2.89) and 2.18 (1.64-2.89), respectively, for alcohol-related liver disease. Among blue-collar workers, skeleton construction workers had a higher risk of hospitalisations due to alcohol-related liver disease, with an OR of 2.31 (1.63-3.3). Workers in occupations with a high risk of hospitalisations due to alcohol-related liver disease had higher percentages of alcohol consumption compared to professionals.
conclusionsOccupational class and specific jobs were associated with the risk of hospitalisations due to alcohol-related liver disease and alcoholic liver cirrhosis, with alcohol consumption patterns contributing to this increased risk.
