Incidence of work-related musculoskeletal pain among Primary Health-care Providers.
Article in African health sciences, 2024. 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: Work related musculoskeletal pain is majorly responsible for decrease in the productivity of occupational work. It is an important work-related problem which is affecting the industrious and effective output of the work. The causes of work-related musculoskeletal pain are complex mesh of interrelated factors that exert their influence simultaneously. Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of work- related musculoskeletal pain along with its associated factors amongst the obstetrics and gynecologist (OB/GYN) using a self-designed questionnaire. Methods: This was a cross sectional survey comprising of 196 obstetricians and gynecologists working in different public and private selected clinical settings. To gather data, self-designed questionnaire was used within a period of 4 weeks. Results: The prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal pain was seen in 171 (87.2%) out of 196 subjects, in at least one region and 25 (12.8%) subjects reported no musculoskeletal pain. The symptoms were majorly seen in lower back (59.2%) and leg (37.8%), also neck (27.8%), shoulder (26.0%), arm (12.8%), mid back (16.8) and upper back (9.2%). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that work-related musculoskeletal pain is highly prevalent in obstetrics and gynecologists, and it has a great impact on their daily lives.
