Health Risk Predicted Matrix of MSDs Risk Assessment in Electronic Industrial Workers of Winding Process.
Article in Indian journal of occupational and environmental medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The electronics assembly industry is continuously expanding, and the toroidal winding process exacerbates musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) due to exposure to ergonomic risk factors. Aim: The objectives of this study were to assess the ergonomic risk and health risks of MSDs among workers in the toroidal winding electronics assembly industry. Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional descriptive study included 46 workers in one electronics winding assembly industry in Northeast Thailand who met the inclusion criteria of having work experience of at least 6 months and working at least 8 hours a day The data were collected using a self-assessment MSDs Severity and Frequency Questionnaire (MSFQ), ergonomic risk assessment for standing posture via applied Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) and for sitting posture via applied Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), as well as a health risk matrix for MSDs risk assessment. Results: In the winding process without using the machine, workers predominantly experienced body discomfort in the shoulders and upper back, while in the winding process with the machine, this discomfort shifted to the shoulders and lower back. The ergonomic risk for the standing posture was at the highest level of risk, level 4, while the sitting posture was at level 3. The analysis of the MSDs risk matrix showed that workers winding without the machine were at a very high health risk level (65.22%), whereas workers winding with the machine were also at a very high health risk level (60.87%). Conclusion: The health risk matrix for the prediction of MSDs is very useful in MSD surveillance programs among workers in the toroidal winding industry.
