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

purposeThe aim of this retrospective study was to analyse the compensation procedures concerning patients presenting with work-related lung cancer (LC), hospitalised in a French university hospital, and to assess the benefit of systematic specialised occupational disease (OD) consultations in improving procedures for reporting and recognising OD.

methodsPatient exposure to occupational lung carcinogens was assessed via an analysis of a standardised questionnaire, completed between 1 January 2009 and 24 April 2023. Among the 2024 patients who completed the questionnaire, 621 patients with probable exposure to occupational lung carcinogens were included. Among these patients, two groups were compiled: group 1, consisting of the 392 subjects who did not benefit from specialised OD consultations, and group 2, consisting of the 229 subjects who benefited from such consultations since 2014 and to whom a medical certificate to claim for compensation was issued by a physician. During the second phase of our study, we determined the outcome of the compensation procedure for OD. Uni- and multivariate logistic regressions were performed according to descending logistic regression methods.

resultsMultivariate analyses, including smoking status, sex, age and claim for compensation, confirm the significant relationship between specialised OD consultation and claim for compensation (OR 18.13, 95% CI [11.47-28.64]). Furthermore, the rate of occupational disease recognition has multiplied by 1.5 since 2014.

conclusionThis study confirms the importance of specialised OD consultations in helping patients with LC to obtain compensation and to reduce under-recognition.
