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

backgroundOccupational Hearing Loss (OHL) is a significant health concern among oil workers, influenced by environmental and occupational factors. This study investigates the independent and synergistic effects of air pollution and noise exposure on OHL risk in this high-risk population.

methodsA prospective cohort study included 1,179 oil workers from Hebei Province, China, with baseline data (2017-2019) and follow-up until 2023. Air pollution exposure (PM

resultsThe OHL incidence was 34.5% (n = 407). Air pollutants exhibited significant nonlinear associations with OHL: PM

conclusionsAir pollution and noise exposure independently and synergistically increase OHL risk in oil workers. AQCI and NO
