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

Background: Musculoskeletal problems among drivers sourced from severe traffic congestion have become a substantial public health issue. Prominent driving risk exposures were deemed to inflict symptoms such as discomfort and ache among drivers that subsequently contribute to fatigue. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between frequency and period of getting stuck during driving through stop-go motion towards the prevalence of musculoskeletal problems. Moreover, several combined effects of parameters were investigated towards the experience of knee pain among drivers. Methods: This study adopted a cross-sectional questionnaire survey method. The survey conducted in 2021 was randomly sampled among 18-year-old and above Malaysian drivers with valid driving license and the survey conducted through social media via an online Google form. To analyse the association and outcomes of the survey, Chi-Square and Binary Logistic Regression tests were used respectively. Results: Overall, 320 drivers were recruited in this study. Data of 180 drivers who frequently stuck during peak hours in congestion was analysed with chi-square test that showed no significant relationship for both the driving exposure variables with the prevalence of knee pain during stop-go motion. Nevertheless, 92 (51.11%) drivers reported commonly experiencing knee pain symptoms from prolonged repetitive driving motion. The total sample of this study tested using regression analysis for combined effects of the parameters showed a significant ( Conclusion: Generally, there are combined variables that contributed towards the occurrence of knee pain during stop-go driving in this study.
