Association of Shift Work and Lifestyle With Aortic Aneurysm Incidence: A Large Prospective Cohort Study in the UK Biobank.

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
backgroundShift work is associated with various health problems, but its impact on aortic aneurysm (AA) is unclear. The role of lifestyle factors in this regard is also less clear. This study aimed to explore the combined effects of shift work and lifestyle on AA risk.
methodsA total of 213971 employed or self-employed participants from the UK Biobank were included in the study. Employment and lifestyle information was collected. Cox proportional hazards regression models were applied to assess the association between shift work and AA. Restricted cubic spline functions, mediation, interaction, and joint analyses were used to further explore the relationship between unhealthy lifestyle, shift work, and AA risk.
resultsAmong 213 971 participants, 1035 developed AA during a mean follow-up of 14.9 years. In fully adjusted models, shift work was associated with a significantly higher risk of AA (hazard ratio [HR], 1.24 [95% CI, 1.06-1.46]), with frequent shift workers showing an elevated risk (HR, 1.27 [95% CI, 1.03-1.57]). A dose-dependent relationship was observed between the unhealthy lifestyle score and the risk of AA, with the risk of AA increasing as the unhealthy lifestyle score increased. The joint effect of shift work and unhealthy lifestyle showed a significant association, particularly among shift workers with 4 to 5 unhealthy lifestyle factors (HR, 2.26 [95% CI, 1.63-3.14]).
conclusionsIn this cohort study, we found that shift work was significantly associated with an increased risk of AA. Additionally, unhealthy lifestyles, particularly smoking, may play a crucial role in this association. These findings underscore the need for targeted prevention strategies, especially for shift workers with unhealthy lifestyle factors.
