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
objectivesThe present study aims to investigate the effects of the participatory ergonomics (PE) program on reducing the ergonomic risk factors and increasing the work performance among the aging workers who work as ginger peelers in the Wat Puranawas community in Thailand. MATERIAL AND
methodsFourteen older workers who work in the Wat Puranawas community are recruited, by purposive sampling. Participants attend the PE program twice, each session lasts 60 min. The measuring instruments used are: the
resultsThe scores of the RULA and the scores of COPM in the domain of satisfaction and performance during ginger peeling are improved during the post-test and the follow-up period (p < 0.05). The scores of WAI show no statistical significance when comparing the 3 periods (p = 0.079).
conclusionsThe results indicate that the PE program can effectively reduce ergonomic risk factors and enhance the workability among aging workers who work as ginger peelers. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2025;38(4):324-334.
