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

backgroundRepetitive and heavy physical activities by agricultural workers can lead to the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and affect the quality of life of these individuals. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted using cluster and convenience sampling on 259 agricultural workers employed in greenhouses in the City of Jiroft in southeastern Iran in the year 2024. Data were collected using the standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and quality of life questionnaire, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as mean, standard deviation, range, frequency, and percentage frequency. Independent t-test and regression were employed in SPSS-16 software at a significance level of 0.05 (p ≤ 0.05).

resultsAmong the 259 people studied, 120 (46.3%) had a low level and 139 (53.7%) had an average level of quality of life. The level of quality of life has a significant relationship with musculoskeletal disorders, occupation, and underlying disease. Based on this, people who do not have musculoskeletal problems have 2.84 times the chance of having a better quality of life than people who have these problems (95% CI 1.64, 4.94, p < 0.001). Additionally, greenhouse workers have a higher quality of life 2.21 times more than horticulture workers (95% CI 1.41, 4.15, p = 0.001). Furthermore, people without underlying disease have a higher quality of life 2.35 times than those with disease (95% CI 1.26, 4.39, p = 0.007).

conclusionThe quality of life of agricultural workers is low and moderate, and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in workers has decreased the quality of life.
