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

backgroundTo assess the association between rotator cuff  tendinitis (RCT) occurrence and socio-professional constraints among a sample of professionally active patients.

methodsThis study was based on a questionnaire that collected information on sociodemographic, occupational characteristics, and medical information about shoulder injuries. The assessment of psychosocial constraints at work was performed using the Karasek Job Content Questionnaire.

resultsA total of 100 patients participated in this study. The population was predominantly female (89%), with a mean age of 45±9.5 years. Sixty-five percent of the patients worked in the manufacturing sector, and working as a machine operator was the most common occupation (48%). The average job seniority was 22±9 years. Regarding organization, the most common constraints were the need to respect production standards and deadlines (93%), to work quickly in 96% of cases, and Repeatability (92%). Eighty-eight percent of the patients reported high psychological demands, and 96% had low social support at work. Most of the patients (83%) were under occupational stress or had been subjected to a job-strain situation. DISCUSSION: In this study, high psychological demand, low decision latitude, and low social support were predominantly reported in the population with percentages of 88%, 93%, and 96%, respectively.
