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
Background Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a musculoskeletal condition frequently referred to as an occupational hazard, a classification that includes jobs requiring computer use. Long-term use of computers has been associated with the risk of CTS. Hence, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of CTS among computer-using non-teaching staff from select educational institutes at Sangli, Miraj, Kupwad corporation area. Methodology This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted from May 2024 to June 2024. A total of 150 computer-using non-teaching staff working at the selected educational institutes of Sangli, Miraj, and Kupwad area were recruited in the study by simple random method. Inclusion criteria included computer-using non-teaching staff of educational institutes who were willing to give informed written consent for the study. Exclusion criteria included participants already on treatment for CTS. A pre-validated structured questionnaire was utilized to assess the sociodemographic variables and signs/symptoms of CTS. The duration and type of computer usage were also recorded. Results The prevalence of CTS among computer-using staff was 96.81 (64.54%). Staff aged more than 40 years with a job experience of 10 years were prone to develop CTS. A chi-square value of 51.273 in association with the participant's age (40 years and more) was observed with a p-value <0.001
