Strategies to improve compliance with personal protective equipment use in the textile industry: a scoping review.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. 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
backgroundCompliance with the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential for protecting workers from occupational hazards and accidents, particularly in the textile industry. However, achieving consistent PPE compliance remains a significant challenge in many countries. This study aims to review strategies designed to enhance PPE compliance among textile industry workers.
methodsWe applied a scoping review methodology. Systematic searches were conducted across six databases: PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, EBSCO Medline, and SAGE Journals. Five articles met the inclusion criteria for final analysis. We focused on strategy types and reported outcomes when extracting the data. We did not conduct a quality appraisal of individual studies in accordance with the scoping review methodology. The review is registered on the Open Science Framework ( https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/U3YAH ).
resultsAmong the five included studies, only one employed an interventional design, demonstrating that an educational program improved knowledge, attitudes, and PPE compliance. The remaining four studies were observational in nature, identifying influential factors and recommending strategies such as training and adequate PPE provision. However, the contextual variability and observational designs limit the generalizability of the findings.
conclusionsThis review highlights the limited availability of interventional studies on PPE compliance in the textile sector. Nevertheless, observational studies have identified commonly recommended approaches, such as training and workplace improvements, which warrant further evaluation. Future research should prioritize intervention studies to evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies.
